![]() Hello, When I downloaded Limewire for the first time, it would let me search and download quickly and very well. However, now, when I try to search something, it says "Limewire is currently connect to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected." I have never had this problem before, so I am posting here to see if anyone knows the problem. I tried leaving limewire opened without closing it for like a day, but it is still the same message. Whenever I search, I did not get even 1 result from an hour ago, and still not getting anything. I have read the stickies, but could not find anything wrong. Please help, Thanks! |

![]() Hi Omega I had the same problem yesterday and fixed it by doing this:- [1] Open windows explorer select Tools à Folder Options à View à Show hidden files and folders. [2] In windows explorer look for the Limewire Folder – go here:- c:\documents and settings\username\applications data\limewire [3] Ensure that limewire is off - now Open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file – ![]() now download a new version from (here) it will be named gnutella.net.net and save it to your desktop [4] Now drag the new gnutella.net.net file into the limewire folder. [5] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire – if it still doesn’t connect go back into the limewire folder and rename the new downloaded gnutella.net.net file to gnutella.net. (ensure that LW is off before you do this) [6] Close the LW Folder and start up LW again – hopefully your problem is fixed Please let us know how you get on
