Hi, I have spent the past couple of weeks reading my way through the forum, with little success, trying to find an answer, Please help. I am currently using version 4.16.7 and have been using Limewire for a few months now but over the past 2 weeks I am getting very little results from searches and when I do get a result I am unable to download (need more sources) I only down load documents (books etc) so very small downloads and I have full connection (all green).
