Searching
 
Sorry, couldn't find the "searching" category, so I assumed Download/upload would be fine.

Anyone know how to input chinese characters into searches...?

I tried to copy and paste, but all i got out of it are boxes and results i got were just everything not related to my search..

Help, and help please

Medicca, thanks

Hippychick,

They removed that option as it is no longer necessary. Where are you sharing from home/school/work etc? What is the specific problem you are having.

2 KBPS DOWNLOADS...........
 
Followed all suggestions from leeware....i got limewire recently but downloads are no faster than 10kbps, and most are 2 or 4kbps. I have dsl and download from sources at least as fast. Are these normal speed WITHOUT having the PRO version??? Does the pro version make all the difference? I though having dsl would make these downloads faster but their all VERY SLOW. Also...limewire finds no firewall issues and always says I have a very fast connection, so I'm just very confused......

Possible Problems
 
No getting the pro version will not solve this problem. There are two possible problem which have been covered again and again in this thread.

1) Overloaded sources

2) ISP rate-limiting P2P downloads

3) Your connection is not as fast as you think.

slow downloads
 
Just did the test. download speed is 1408 kbps and upload is 364. I guess it's one of the other 2 reasons u mention...anything else i can do? why would downloads come in at .5kbps from a t1 source?

Dear steakfrit ,

Try files with multiple sources -- sometimes the hosts are overloaded serving many downloaders. Other times, it's companies that release fakes. If they can keep you downloading a bogus file for weeks they effectively keep you from downloading the real files.

Help pretty please
 
Hi everyone, I recently bought this computer ( a dell , windows XP) and did the Limewire thing.

Only I am totally confused, I seem to be downloading previews instead of movies, and now when I search it won`t allow me to download, I have lime wire 4.3.2 , when I put in a search item it comes up with choices at the left hand side but I can`t click on them .......

I am very very new to this and know nothing about it at all, just figured I`d come here and see if anyone could tell me anything so that maybe I might stop watching my screen do nothing at all , har har.....
