search doesin't find a lot
 
I switched from Bearshare to Limewire Pro and like it a lot better. I'm not getting a lot of search results when I should be getting way more. Does anybody know any ways to improve this?

I was getting a better amount search results with Bearshare

This is really the way it is? There ain't millions of mp3s and images being shared anymore?

efreeclub? i never heard of it. you should just re-download Limewire Pro *****


Even though nobody here works for LW, we still can't allow instructions/hints for downloading free Pro.

There aren't billions of files being shared like KaZaA used to have? Its like torrents? On Soulseek theres a lot and Ares also but I thought the Gnutella network would have more files being shared.

There's a lot of spam on the network now. In LW go tools > options > filters > keyword. Add efreeclub to your keyword filter > Apply > ok. You shouldn't see it in your searches any more. Check out the thread below for more info, as well as a list of words that it's worth filtering out. New spam will come along but if there's a keyword associated with the files, you can always filter it out;)
How to find music :)

You could also try this hostiles list - it might cut down on the amount of spam that you see: The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

The search has been a bit off for lots of people lately. For me, it seems that some days there aren't many results & other days there are heaps.

Click on LW's Connections tab (if you don't see a Connections tab, click on View > Show/Hide > tick Connections).
You'll see the hosts (ultrapeers) that you're connected to... right click on a host > remove. You can do that for all ultrapeers that you're connected to - they'll be replaced by new UPs. Does this help at all?

If results are reeeally sparse, try either deleting LW's preferences folder or deleting/replacing your gnutella.net file. There's info here (it's a connection probs thread but still has the info you need): If LW Will Not Connect

If i search for "Hathaway" in images I only get 2 results. I should be getting at least 100 results on celebrities like that.

JeffAMC January 11th, 2009 04:13 AM

can someone else do a search in images for Hathaway and see if they only get 2 results?
