I am not sure why you feel that Limewire is not working. My own experience is that, because of the vast overload of traffic on the Gnutella network, only about 5% of hosts respond immediately to the download request and, of those, most will stall during the download and require remedial action by the user. You have not purchased a "magic" application that will simply drop your most desired music into a file for you. To get results, you have to engage yourself in the activity, work to improve your knowledge, and build up experience and expertise. You have paid for one of the better applications available at this moment. If you want instant results, I suggest you go down to the record store and spend your money there.
