Dear ams123,

Let me start by saying that I hope that you own the copyrights to the 100 movies you added to your shared folder otherwise you will have big problems real soon.

If you are using a linksys router you should make sure that you are forwarding port 6346 to the IP address of the computer running limewire.

As for hits and no uploads, the hits just mean that someone searched and your machine returned the file or files you are sharing as a result. In the column that shows x/y x=actual uploads and y = attempted uploads. If you see a lot of y and no x then that is a sure indication that people are trying to upload your files but are not able to for one reason or another.

Searching for files you are sharing -- No you will not see search results for files coming from the same machine you perform the search on. If you want to see the results produced by the machine sharing the files you should install limewire on another computer (assuming you have access and control of the other machines) and perform the search from one of those.

The quality of a file is based on a few things

1) connection speed when you first start limewire there is a mechanism that can determine your true speed aside from what you specified in the speed box.

2) Whether you are firewalled or not determines quality.
Attempted vs successful uploads etc.

3) Machine Load that is, the number of people connected to you attempting to upload files from your machine. These things impact your bandwidth and general file availability and thus impact the quality of the results you return.

IP Adress
 

I recently got a new ISP. When I had my old ISP I checked my IP address; and I just checked it now (with the new ISP). It's different. Is it different because of the new ISP?

Yes

I have a question...

I can try to use limewire but my downloads are only 1kb-20kb.

I am currently using warez and my downloads are 40kb-75kb.

I have a broadband connection. Is there a difference in ports with the limewire and warez and thats why i cant download very fast with it...??

I really want my limewire back but so far warez is faster so I am forced to use it for speed. Let me know what I can do in order to get my lime wire back...


Thanks for all the help in advance

Dear Calstylin,

I don't think that the problem is limewire as so much as it is the sources on limewire that you are downloading from.

Hope this helps.

Slow computer
 

I tried the earlier version but the slow down still occurs when I activate limewire.
Thanks for all your help but i give up.

I have tried all sorts of sources. My brother in the other room has dsl and he gets downloads at 100kbs sometimes. I hooked up the dsl to my computer and I got downloads at those speeds. Is there a different setup for broadband connections???

Hey. im very new to LimeWire, i switched because my favorite P2P, WinMX is gone forever.

I want to download files, but there is no Download Manager in the system!

Is something wrong?

ripoff
 

i paid 39 dollars 4 limewire and it is my opinion that limewire is nothin more than a scam. i have had problems with them and they won't email me back. i think anyone who like me pay that kinda money got screwed

Thats what most people say when they have been scammed. Limewire basic is free. And pro cost $18.88 for pro and 6 months of upgrades you can get them at the link below. If I were you I would contact the site that scammed you and try to get my money back. It would also be a good idea to contact your credit card company and let them know you were scammed and try to get your money back from them.

Good Luck
