am using the newest limewire, found via macupdate.com which is 4.1.10 though limewire's site has newest listed as 4.0.8 for some reason.

If I streamline it/limit it though, that's not going to help the fact that I'm only getting a fraction of the normal files available to begin with, in fact, it will only make it worse! Basically, I'm getting about 1/30th of the normally available files coming up as searchable...not enough files to change the status at the top from enabling open file sharing to a running total of files and mb/gb! I have been able to get some things to download in the last 24 hours, but I'm not finding many of the things I need to find because of this.
