limewire :yahoo:Hi well, that is strange, the only thing i could suggest is try doing a search for the songs that you downloaded, then u could send them to your music folder...I personally have never heard of this b4, if it was sucessfully dl, then iy should have went straight to you lw library..:idea: |
Hello Lee..I'm new to Pro and have followed your thread.My IP addy is 192.168.0.1... Dunno if that helps.I'm on a home laptop (1.5GhZ)with a new Skybroad LAN connection that claims a speed of 100Kbs.Have Port Forwarding set up (I think). Problem at the moment is that I get loads of Sources, but downloads remain on 'Awaiting Sources". Please help. Thanks...Stan. |
Download/Upload speeds After following the forum for a while now, I'm hoping that someone can help me sort out why my download speeds have gone from up to 500Kbps to stuck on 'awaiting sources' or 'locating sources.' Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah...I'm on a home laptop,with a Skybroadband LAN connection that claims to be 100Kbps. It's a new router that is apparently on port Forwarding. Hope that helps. Cheers. |
Hosts Tried I'm going to presume that this is the proper forum location for my problem. Each time I do a search for a movie and it lists a large number of hosts and I click to start a download all it does is indicate the number of hosts its' tried. It bebins with one and sometimes gets to the double or even triple digits before it switches to Need More Source. If I click on the item and then click on Resume it simply starts the process all over. What's wrong? |
Upload/firewall issues :confused:I have the problem of not being able to have files upload and believe it's because of an firewall issue as the firewall brick block is always over the connection on the lower left hand side of l/w. I have tried every suggestion for disabling windows firewalls, norton security firewalls, etc., etc. The strange thing is that I have been able to connect uploads and downloads in the past. It seems to change after a couple of months. I see that one of the sugggestions talks about forcing an IP. I did get an IP address from the http address in the suggestion but now need advice on where to put it in limewire. Thanks for any help you can offer ndb |
Ok folks I read al this and I must say it makes no sense at all to us Non computer people. I am not new to Limewire have been using for months now. Was using 360 Share pro. Now this past Friday Limewire froze up my computer trying to download a video. I had to force my computer to shut off by holding the power button. Then I went back to LW and all my vidoes that were saevd in my library are gone. I try to download videos and I am looking at more than 150 host in a file T3 or better 4 stars and it can't find the host to download from. Try another and another and same results. I ran my Antivirus I did have a worm and got rid of that. If i do get a download the connection is realy slow and I only get 2 host max. I am running windoiws X Home Edition Version 5.12600 my Ops in Micro Soft It is a Compact Presario I do know I am now low on memory 2Mb but I have dumped alot of pics and games and got rid of some of the files in "My Favorites" If i am asking the same question over as above I am sorry I read this several times and it seems like there one say do this and another says not good to do |

It is possible to ban certain ip's from accessing your LW. Right click the user in the upload window & choose ban. |
Hello everyone |
Thanks! Thank you for the info Lee!!! :xeri_ok1ani: |
Downloading Movies Why did I have to pay for the pro version of lime wire If the Movie download speeds did not increase. Yes I have tired all solutions offered to enable increased download speeds but still on most movies I get speed of only 30-60 kbps I run off of cable rr 15mbps so I should expect better speeds than that right??? turbo charged internet connection my butt. Not worth the 21 $$$:cool::mad2: |
Locking Up I hear ya on the download speeds, I have cable and they are still slow, but I'm assuming that is because of the dedicated to upload bandwidth selected by the other users. Now I do have one new issue happening though, when I select 20-25 downloads, my program is starting to lock up! It has never done that before. |
hey i need serious help... NONE of the songs i download will actually download. it goes straight to queued. no matter how many stars/hosts its always queued and they will not download. its really annoying |
This is moenice and I would like to say hello to all members. I would also like to thank you all for letting me in. My problem is awaiting sources. How can I fix this problem? |
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...cons/icon1.gif Went from cable to dsl... HELP!! I recently changed to dsl from a cable modem ( big mistake! ) My problem is no matter what i can not download over 73Kb's, I have tried everything i can think of to correct this? I used to get 500Kb's with cable. I re-routed the firewall,checked the speed and matched it, check the forums, ect... After 2-weeks of this i have no other option to ask for help here on the boards!!!! Any help will be greatly appreciated!! |

Try doing a couple and see how they compare to what you get with LW. Speed Test Internet Speed Test DSL Speed Test Broadband Speed Test Bandwidth Speed Test Broadband Speedtest on ZDNet UK |
Well, I am a little disapointed with the latest speed test, only 550-600kb/s down and 350 ish up. Does this translate into poor performance on limewire? And thank you for all your help! Jk |
@ jrosek, That speed of 600kbs is kilobits, LW shows speeds in KBs kilobytes. There are 8 bits to 1 byte. So a speed of 600kbs = 75 KBs. Your LW is working fine, your dsl service is just slower than the cable connection you had. You can probably upgrade to a faster plan but it'll be more expensive. |
I'm also having trouble with LW lately. I've been using LW for well over a year now and had fairly good success, but it comes and goes. I only dL movie files, could'nt care less about music! I used to keep a around 100 or so files at all times, but recently I've been deleting some to keep my pc running faster. I've always allowed sharing and will continue. My os is on cable/dsl my tested speed is 2295kbps down and 245kbps up as I understand I should multiply by 8 to convert those numbers into bites or bits or whatever the hell! So then I should move the sliders in my options to match these speeds. Well after playing with it I've fallen to like 1 or 2 kbps according to the bottom of my limewire sceen! I was dL files in a matter of hours, now it takes like two freakin days! I'm new to the forum if it is'nt obvious already. I really appreciate being able to be a part of the forum. As far as my system goes, I'm not real sure as to what it is technically speaking! Its a dell dimension 3100 on windows XP hooked up on cable int. about 50miles east of Dallas,TX. I'm in a small town, but not out deep in the woods! Those people out here have to use satelite, so I'm lucky in that respect. Anyways, I need help. I use limewire everyday trying to get those new releases so I don't have to go to the theatres! Lately its been a crap shoot! I always check with bitzi and that helps, but its my DL speed that sucks for some reason! Thanks again everyone in advance! |
@ buff shagwell, Divide by 8, 2295kbps = 287KBs d/load, & 245kbps = 30.6KBs upload. Set your d/load slider to 100% unlimited, and your upload slider 20KBs or so. Could be you isp is shaping your speeds at peek times or theres a lot of heavy traffic at certain times that's slowing it down. Do your speeds get better after midnight or early in the morning? How much space is left on your hdd. If your running low on memory that can cause problems. Try defragging and see if it helps. |
LimeWire is finally dialed in! Thanks for the help! I made the adjustments you recommended along with a couple others and WOW! Right now I'm DL'ing 7 video files at over 250 kbs and up loading is at around 20kbs. Thats the fastest I've ever seen on my machine. Last night I successfully DL'ed a few new releases in fair to good quality and currently getting a few more tonight. I think my LW program is running at its peak for the time being. Thanks again! :yahoo: |
D/L with limewire pro 4.16.1. Need help I found that, ever since I upgraded to Limewire pro 4.16.1 my D/L are extreamly slowwww. And when I try to click on: Open torrent it tells me to re-install limewire. Is this a Bill Gates try as you pay Thingy? By the time I'll be able to view the Mov. it will be in rental stage. Helllp, at my old I don't need high blood presure and stress.:beta:???? I use Windoz XP. Have two cpu's of 534gigs. Two HD. Three external HD of 4gigs. 2 pentium chips. Thanks for all the help before time. Please don't yell or make fun at me in public. I'm still learning. |
So your having some problems getting your LW Pro to work properly? Well, first off did you get your version from LIMEWIRE or some rogue site? There are alot of fake sites out there offering copies! Did you pay for it? I had fa ree version for like a year and then I bought Pro for $29.99(U.S). You'll need to go into your settings and fine tune your LW to get the most performance. Mine is working great! It sounds like you have a nice system, its gotta be something else. Go into tools-options-downloads and and set max to 8 then slide the bar over 100%. Next go to uploads and slide it to 19.5%. Go to slots-uploads per/person (3) and max to (3) remember to click on "apply" after each selection. You should find out what your download/upload speed is to accurately fine tune. You can google for a site that will test your bandwith speed kbps and multiply by 8 that will give you your speed. Then you should use those figure to move the bars up or down to match your sytems capacity. For now just try this and see how this works. I'll be happy to help you more. I'm no expert, I got all my help from the guys on this forum. You just have to be patient and read thru all the threads that pertain to this topic. |
Thank you so much Buff..I printed out your reply so I can work on it tomorrow. And yes, I bought it from Limewire...every time and it comes from their site. I D/L to try. If I like stuff alote then I buy. My Mersadez is in the garage. I just use the old VW to cruzzzzze. LOL All joking aside. I do appriciate you. Kaca.... no spell checker! |
Your Limewire DL/UL potential! Cool! I sure hope you get it working right this time around! I hope I was some help to you. I know how frustrating this can be cause I went thru the same thing myself. Happy Downloading!:PEACE: |
Just updated to 4.16.6 I can't open LimeWire. It goes to LIMEWIRE SETUP WIZARD where you select Network Speed, System Setup & Content Filtering but then What??? If I close that popup, I go NO where? What am I doing wrong. THANKS... |
Normally you'd progress from that page to a firewall setup page. If you're missing the 'back', 'next' & 'cancel' buttons from the setup page, check out the thread below:) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/230100-post7.html |

Hi BB, There's no 'force IP' option in LW anymore, it's been replaced with the option to use UPnP or port forward. Lee's post was written back in 2002 & so there have been heaps of changes since then:) What's the problem...are you firewalled, can't connect or are you just wanting to optimise LW's performance? If you have a firewall/conection issue, please post your system details for us. System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!(click on link) If you're just wanting the best performance out of LW, check out the thread below (the first few posts by murasame). A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance... |

Thank You Very Much.You have given me lots to read But I want to learn so I will..BB |
I have the public ip but still not a single upload. Some files got 100000 hits but not a single download. What could be the problem? |
HOw do you force your ip address? I looked it up, now I would like you to explain what to do with it. Thank You |
I have dedicated server with static IP |
limewire one time purchase? I love limewire and been using for 3-4 years until past month or so would not connect. I uninstalled. I thought you just had to pay one time. I got scammed and paid SOMEONE $35. How can I get it again for free - it don't recognize my email address when I say already bought pro?? help |
YOU Want LW Pro For Free, Because YOU were Scammed. :cheesy: |
Download question Got a problem--I think. I'm running Windows XP and using the McAfee Firewall. I notice that I'm not getting hardly any matches at 320KB when I used to get a lot. The a lot f the content I am getting will not download. What's the scoop. Is it me or is the net just getting to the point that most people want 128KB downloads.. Thanks, Megasoid |
help Well you seem to know what you are talking about so I thought I would ask a question. I am pretty new to limewire. When I origianally downloaded it I had now problems. But now when i do a search the progress bar advances slowly but nothing shows up in the feed of possible songs to download. I have no idea why nothing is coming thru Quote:

Hi All, I haven't posted on this forum for a long long time. Back when LW was 4.12.x. I just downloaded the most recent LW from the main page. I have about 30gb of stuff to share.. mostly .mp3's at 128 or 192 quality. I have Windows XP SP2 (upgraded from 1a) and now about to upgrade to SP3. How much RAM / Memory does LW 4.16 need to use to operate properly? Can a user set the preferences so that the system allocates enough RAM to the program each time it is started? Also, I'm still on Dialup, using my local free dialup ISP (nocharge.com / IP @64.40.62.67) but I use a few local wifi connections a lot. I get lots of varying speeds from LW while downloading files off LW. Greg |
Reply To Gbowne1 Only thing I know for sure about your updates, is DON'T download the new Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP...it is a mess full of glitches they will be patching forever with updates; stick with SP2. It is a bit difficult to share 30 Gigs of stuff or download more with only a dial-up, which I think is a max of 56K. Even with the odd wi-fi hook-up it sounds like your computer is fairly dated because of your concern with RAM. A few suggestions based on speculation about your system, which all, unfortunately, cost money. First, your dial-up is a major choke-point with narrow bandwidth - would suggest you pay an Internet Service Provider for bottom end hi-speed service. Second, suggest 512MBytes RAM and 1GigaHertz computer clock speed is bare minimum for your system if you want to have LWire on and still be able to do other tasks. Hope Vegan replies to my questions and this post to you helps a bit. Let me know, caseybob |
Dircect Connect Hello newbie here.. is anyone here can teach how to use direct connection in frostwire.. thanks!!!! :rolleyes_2: |

Hello! I have Windows XP - computer is only just over a year old DEll XPS and have an extremely fast cable connection. I had limewire pro for a year with lightning downloads. My year ran out and I renewed last week with the upgrade to 4.18 and connections have been poor to non-existant all week. Limewire recieved payment but I have only been able to download two songs in a week. Is the upgrade at fault? Is there something else I need to get for the rest of the internet gives me full download whilst my Limewire is stuck in "starting connection" 59 out of 60 minutes an hour. Please help. Thanks! |

port fowarding I need help with manual portfowarding for limewire. I dowloaded the program a few days ago and I have very slow downloads. The port 6346 is busy so I have to us another port. Also the IP address that my computer gives me via the command prompt is different than the one I receive from the "what is my ipaddress" website 1. OS version? Windows xp pro 2. What firewalls you have? I have just the firewall that comes with windows 3. How much ram? 1.86GHz 4. Hard Disk space available? 160gb 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) cable, I am in a dorm with wireless internet. 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I don't have my own router I am connecting wirelessly via the Dorms' network 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? student accomodation 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.18.1-- Java 1.6.0_07 9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Unknown 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said 'your test worked' 11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. Yes I am sharing the connection with other computer in this building 12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I have used limewire at home before but I had my own router and I portfortwarded with my own router, the port 6346 was not busy, I was using XP home edition, and my ip address was 192........, and it seemed much easier the last time I did it. 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes I see the brick and it say "limewire has detected a firewall" which is what I am trying to remove without disabling my firewall on my computer. 14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. I am using spybot and AVG. 16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). I am in the US 17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? |
