I have tried your suggestions in limiting my search results to people with 4 stars... However when I try to download video files i get 'Need More Sources' even when the file i just searched gave results of '96' in the number column. I am connecting with DSL. I have downloaded video files in the past... Can you help?

Ankenbauer's Download Problem
 

Dear Ank: Realize you have already read June-2006 post that is first under Max up/down Success LW (Sticky-Leeware) and have followed at least his 'four star only' advice in /quality. But there are three others under Tools/Options/Filters which you may not have followed; /hosts, /speed, /keywords. I chose to ignore long-winded debate between Leeware & Trapjaw, except TJaws add of ' / ' to keywords. My DOWNloads are running at close to optimum and problem-free...my big beef about lack of help or discussion of UPload 'Bandwidth Throttling' by ISP's continues. If you have already configured Leeware's four suggestions, then I have to leave it to much more experienced members to help you out.
Good Luck, caseybob

New to all downloading- glad to be member -
 

Very glad to be a part of such a fine organization. Thanks up front for any and all help. :xeri_ok1ani:

Downloading Time
 

I am new to Limewire, just recently downloaded Pro to Windows XP Home Edition - cable connection. I've began downloading songs and have used 360 share pro in past, however the songs are taking 4+ HOURS each. Last night I left my computer on overnight and got 2 songs! Something must be set incorrectly - can someone guide me through the correct steps to get this resolved?? :w00t:

Could you supply these details please...

:)As Wonder Why suggested, you need to give details of what LW version you are using and your complete system. I use LW4.13.6, which is one of latest...might help. Refer you to Max Up/Down Success (Sticky - Leeware) for basic configurations...there are four important ones which help a lot. If that doesn't help, chance your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is throttling your bandwidth DOWNLOAD. Some throttle UPload so you can't share at your signed-up speed, while some throttle DOWNload to make it almost impossible for you to receive files no matter how fast the sender is; eg..T3. Thats all the advice this junior can give; some seniors will likely have much more in depth help.
Good Luck, caseybob

downloading problems
 

hey i'm new here so i'm VERY sorry if this has been discussed somewhere...
this is driving me crazy.
When i do a search with LimeWire a warning comes up that, in my estimation, is slowing things down to the point of almost stopping.
\"! only search results with a (lock) are an official LimeWire communications\"
This warning never came up in the past...and i've never had problems with the service. Now i do.
i cannot download songs now...or it is extreeeeeeeeeemely slow.
Ive tried enabling, disabling firewalls...installing and reinstalling the program. nothing helps.
Any tips?

That wouldn't be the problem as that padlock notice you see at the top of your searches is to notify you of a particular search result that contains a virus...
It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates...

Could you supply these details please, so we can take a look at what might be slowing you down...
