I was using Limewire the other day and now when i go to search for things nothing shows up it doesn't want to search at all....... i don't get it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
It is also wise to go to your Filters, to find this go to Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

If your not already, try using PeerGuardian 2. It works like a mini firewall for while your using p2p apps. They maintain block lists that block unwanted ip's. Possibly that's why i havent had that problem. Those ip addresses may already be on the block list.

I haven't had PG2 on all the time (it's being a pain with lists) but I've got Aaron's blocklist in my prefs...
The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire
...maybe that's why I'm not seeing these poxy connections??

Sorry to hijack your thread, Renee

From what Aaron said it's working for 4.13 onwards. I've been using it from 4.13.0 & am now using 4.13.2

And as for how to use it...
That's what I've done

I have the same problem but sleep deprivation and strees have lowered my ability to comprehend and spell can someone summerise the solutu=ion for me
''

That's how to filter out those dodgy hosts


If that doesn't work, you could also try these:
1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.

I've tried everything listed and nothing is working. I was downloading 2 days ago with no problem and today the wheel just keeps spinning. I am on windows xp.
Can anyone help me?

Is LW properly connected (all green/blue connection bars)?

If you changed the license warning option, did you make sure to click Apply then ok to save the change?

After you deleted the prefs folder, did you have to go thru the setup wizard again?

Has your setup changed at all since things were working properly (eg new software, software upd@te/upgrade, new hardware)?

Please give us your system details.
