My max search is set to 5 already. When I went to magnetmix.com I was able to download from there. Bearshare also worked but I'm not really a big fan of it. I prefer Limewire and since it was working previously, I would like to get it working again. I also tried deleting the preferences and that didn't work either. My windows firewall has been turned off since my norton one has been turned on. Is there anything else you can think of to help me? Thanks!
