Odd Connection Problem Um, I've been searching the internet for a solution to this problem and I haven't found anything like this so I'm gonna assume this is a unique problem. Anyways, about a month ago, I downloaded a newer version of limewire, but first I uninstalled the old one. Anyways, I opened it and everything seemed normal, started downloading, everything is fine, but then went I went to download a third file everything went wrong. Anyways, the file had about 80-90 hosts so it seemd good, so I clicked download and it appeared in my downloads section and said connecting. I waited for a bit, nothing happened, gave it a minute and noticed it said 80 hosts tried, need more sources. So I thought it was odd, tried to download some other files and got the same problem. So I restarted limewire, again, downloaded two files and it happened again, then I tried to restart limewire again only this time, no files would download. Anyways, I don't know what could be going on, I turned off my firewall, and still got the problem, any help would be appreciated. |
before you download a file look up the file with a bitzi right click the file go to advanced you might be getting bogus or fake one's I wouldnt pick files with hundreds of host's I found it's not a good thing I try to stick with 5 to 10 host's a little more or less. |

Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more... (try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) ;) Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply... Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...;) Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list... The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire |
Hmmm, I tried other files and getting new hosts, it didn't work. I have Rogers internet, and they block p2ps so it probably has to do with that, but I found it odd I can download two songs and then it stops working. |
Your right about Rogers...Try Peerguardian it's really good at keeping the unwanted out...;) |
