I am not a computer wiz by any strech and this issue is totally making me nuts. I downloaded Limewire and all seems to have gone properly except that I dod not get any results. The connection bars on the lower left show only the first one green and everything I have tried has not helped. I have linksys and made sure it allowed the Upsp or whatever, I went to my (darn) VISTA windows firewall and added Limewire in, yet nothing seems to help.

Can anyone help??

Thanks MJJ725

Hello all,

I have LimeWire PRO 4.18.0

every time I download a movie it gets to 99-100% then the connection speed complety dies..:-(..

I have tryed everything possible..I realy like movies


can anyonr help me?

dylan,

As you get toward the end of downloading a large file such as a video file, you will find hosts tend to drop off. This is usually because not everyone has 100% of the file, but you are downloading parts of the file as others are downloading (partial file sharing). Use the 'Get More Results' option occasionally when searching for more hosts. (ie: right-click the search tab & you will see options.) Hopefully you will eventually find someone with that last 1-2%.

You could preview the file to see how much is missing. It might only be the credits at the end of the video. If that's the case, you may wish to cancel from download window & remove from incomplete folder so you can use it.

hi how do you force your ip in limewire?

Force ip was an old setting. It was been replaced with the Firewall section in the Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Firewall section of your LW settings.

You would normally use that section if you are port forwarding your modem/router. And reciprocate the port forwarded in the LW settings. Example here: Manual port forward instructions & sample image

Cheers

I am not sure if this is the right thread for this sort of question, but here I go.
I am currently downloading a "torrent-file". I found it on a web page, downloaded some file which i oppened, and it began to download using LimeWire.
Unforutenately, it has stopped on 99% completion. And even though it finds 3 to 8 host, it still dont want to complete. The only wrong things I see, are the fact that there are no "speed" and "time" during the download.
So what is wrong? What may I do? Thanks in advance, folks!

Torrents are hardest the more you have downloaded. Since Torrents very much use partial file sharing, the more you download, the less hosts there are who have the entire file. Chances are people with the last 1% are either not online, else their upload slots are busy with other files or other people. Patience is best.

LW is not a great torrent program. One such reason is that it appears not to have any share ratio recording. With other torrent programs, some people set their torrent program not to share with people who have less than a certain share ratio.

Ah! So it isn't something I do wrong? Well, thats a relife.
Thank you so much. Really seems like beeing a member here pays off.
