Had same problem w/ Win2K + LW 2.9.8 upgrade.

LW was 'all I had ever known'.

My advice: Rather than try to figure out and understand why LW won't work, simply download Shareaza and enjoy life again. It's slicker than LW (IMO) and there's no setup required.

Enjoy!

I am running Windows 2000 w/Limewire 2.9.8. Since upgrading to 2.9.8 I have had VERY LITTLE success downloading anything. I get," could not download, awaiting sources."

Meanwhile i have users downloading songs from my database. I have tried some of the searching techniques i have read on the threads. Nothing works. Now Limewire wants me to reup my download page and pay again. I never had this problem with the earlier versions. Does anyone have any fixes for this problem or another program that actually works. I am tired of making my songs available and not getting the same back. What a waste of time this has turned out to be. Whatever happened to the good old days of Napster. Those guys had that system working great.
