Default download problems

I have had limewaire basic for several months and recently upgraded to PRO. Now that I have every time I try and download music it opens the download window and says "connecting" but then goes to "Needs more sources". never had this problem with LW Basic.

janinanine,

FUP stands for Fair Use/Usage Policy. It's a policy that some ISPs have, where the ISP will manage the bandwidth (which results in slow download speed) of customers that they think are using excessive bandwidth...usually customers who are using p2p


jberry6612,

If this has suddenly started happening with every file that you try to download, try this:

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. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
