Hi! I have a CD of my Dad's that I would like to download on Limewire to share with others. Can you give me any help in doing that? I have Windows XP with a cable connection and a router. I am VERY new to this. Thanks so much for your time. RaeRae

Limewire Downloading Problem Slow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My ISP is Xplornet 512kbps download speed and 128kbps upload speed. My modem for the Xplornet Internet is a satellite modem called SurfBeam. That modem plugs into my router D-Link DI-604. Now when i start up limewire it connects and when it's done connecting it's either in the green end or blue the connect and the globe has no brick on it. When i download a file it takes awhile to connect to person and finaly when it connects to the person it downloads at 1kbps or 0kbps. I'm also getting this file from someone on a Cable/DSL or T1 internet connection. So i should be atleast downloading at 50kbps or 64kbps. I don't know what the problem. I know my ISP doesn't block limewire. So someone please help me!!!!!!!!! Thanks

Many thanks for replying Grandpa. Sorry for the delay but as I am in the Far East it was the middle of the night when your reply arrived.
My modem/router is a DareGlobal db 108 using 100mb connection speed. I have not been satisfied with the speed of downloads, as others have said very often 1 or 2 kbs when Im sure it should be better.
If you can assist I would be grateful.
Thanks

does the ultrapeer capability have any influence on how fast i download files from LW?

Sorry if i do this wrong-first post.

i donwloaded limewire and a couple of songs but i can't find them. I am using windows me and in my limeware folder there is not a sharedfile folder created when i donwload. both songs say they are 100% complete downloaded.

Hey I'm New to Lime Wire, only just downloaded to Windows XP, using broadband connection. After been bugged by my boys to get it as everyone else has it and it is "the bomb"
It worked the first couple of days, though we have been experiencing trouble in downloading as every song we download, goes straight to a window labled "Media Usage Rights Acquisition." and from here directs to advertisment of all sorts.
I've looked through the fourms, frequent questions and answers and have not come up with any ideas on how to fix this.
If anyone can assist

It all sounds like spam files to me, although I haven't exactly heard of that phrase...
Just check this...Go to Tools > Options > Searching > License warning and make sure the box is not ticked and then select apply...

Also Check this thread out, it will help you with searching true files...
