The Gnutella Network is an overlay network that is, one that runs on top of any existing connection you have to the network. Your connectivity to gnutella is based on your gnutella client making connections to other gnutella clients. This message indicates that you have not completed any connections to other gnutella clients.

There are two places you can check the status of your connectivity to the gnutella network.

1) lower right hand corner of the screen Qualityshows your current connectivity status)

2) check the connection tab (shows if you are connected to other gnutella clients - Ultrapeers and how long you've been connected.) If you computer is attempting to connect for more than a few minutes there is a problem.


Hope this helps.

Close LimeWire completely then re-open it and try again.

Hope this helps.

yes I would like to know also and I have tried the search feature

Thanks for the setup info. I have a couple of questions I think maybe you can help me with..if you have the time of course...

Specs:

Win98se,466mhz,196meg of ram
Cable internet--100kps
Limewire Pro4.8.1
Mozilla browser
GaduGadu(GG) instant messanger program (It's a polish based program)
FreeRamXP

Here's the sceinerio--FreeRam runs all the time...sometimes it gets a little hung but that is not too difficult to deal with.


With nothing open--

I open Limewire first..Nothing else will connect to the net.

Open GG or Mozilla first and then Limewire, it's all good but at somepoint in time....Mozilla lose's the connection to the net and I have to close Limewire, reopen Moz and start again. GG doesn't lose its connection.

Limewire seems to dominate my internet connection.

Second question,

When I went to pro I thought I would get faster speeds and more searches, this is not the case.

My total d/l speed is about 23kb...

When I search I get 11 hits....ON EVERYTHING, well not everything...but on the top listings...there is only 11, sometimes 12 files....but the main number is 11, like its a limit or something...

When I first went to pro...about 30 minutes ago... I did return some searches and got 50 returns on some searches, I got excited...but it has now gone back down and I am totally confused.

I'm not computer illiterate..but I am when it comes to p2p. Well, not totally illiterate.

Any input would be great...Thanks for your support

Doug

Lee Ware.. like i d/l my lime wire i went on it put the artist i wanted to d/l songs from it ll come up then ill click n it wont show.... so im takin since its not showin its not d/l what do u think i need to do?

i have dsl if u think that will help u..

Dear Doug,

Thanks for the information. If you are not conducting any data transfers that is, uploads or downloads limewire uses very little of your connection about 23Kbps or 3KB. It would help if you conducted some speed test while not running anything else and posting your results here. You can use the following url: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtests

This will provide the bet measure of your transfer capabilities. As for the issue with exactly 11 results showing up for most results -- I noticed that too and I'm not sure why that happens.

Regarding your upgrade to the pro version I never buy the pro version for more performance but rather just to support the developers. The pro version does give you a little better reach in to the network by connecting you to a few more ultrapeers.

Problems with download speeds have been talked about all over the forum and extensively in this thread.

Look through the thread and follow the conversations that deal with download speeds.


Hope this helps.

If you are new to limewire you have to double click the result to download or you have to click the result once and then click the download button icon. If you've done the above then perhaps there is an issue with you window arrangment that is the horizontal bar that splits your search results from your downloads -- you might need to adjust it. If you want to check to see if you have any transfers you would open your library tap

Select the Incomplete Files folder and hit the refresh button. You should see the name of the file you are downloading the the size of it should keep growing with each refresh. That's one way to determine if your downloads are working. However a better way is to goto /tools/statistics/bandwidth/downstream you should see your counters moving (incrementing)

Hope this helps.

I used to have a half decent upload speed of 50-60kb/s with my tiscalli 512 dsl broadband on my limewire pro but for the last couple days it has completely died to downloading at 0-5kb/s. I havnt changed any of my settings and have read for hours on end trying to get some help but nothing has worked? can anyone point me to the right direction or help? thanks

If you are experiencing download slow downs the remote host is probably overloaded with download requests. It's a simple resource and demand problem.

No much you can do about it.

1 : And How do you stop the Uploads out of the incomplete folder

2: How do you stop the Uploads when you have actually disconected Limewire?? they dont stop even when it's shut down

I have to reboot my computer to stop the Leeching on my system..

Is there another program that allows you to control who can leech from your computer because Lime wire is absolutly Bloody useless at this
