current user who changed computers Hello. I paid for LimeWire pro upgarde about a month ago. Now I am using another computer and would like to see if I can get my songs back and avoid paying a new limewire pro fee? |
You can download the Mac OSX beta version for windows... It makes the whole thing look like a Mac. Pretty cool |
My Limewire is saying there is a firewall. I stopped all my security software from running and I still can't download...the firewall icon is still there. What can I do? |
G'day. I'm stumpyc from Australia. Why do I keep getting the "Awaiting Sources" message when attempting to download a file and how can I stop this occurring? |
Linux - Upgraded to Current version, search results now lousy. Hi, First time poster on this Forum, so Hi to all LW Contributors :D.... Have been using LW Pro for many years and for the most part trouble free and great performance. Recently however, after updating to latest version in Linux (Kubuntu 8.04), my search results for file searches has suddenly become abysmal. Searching for generic files would normally result in plenty of multiple download sources and very quick downloads as a result (1.5Mbps). Lately however, I'm lucky to see a handful of search results and NO multiple sources. I've noticed that even if multiple sources for a file appear briefly, it quickly reverts back to one and sometimes that location disappears as well. It almost seems as though download sources are being continually found and then dropped. Wonder if anyone else has ever noticed this and if so, were you able to overcome it and how did you do it? It's really frustrating :( not being able to use my favourite downloading tool.... Cheers All, :) Dimal. |
help i need someone to help me with lime wire this is the problem i took off lime wire 4.16 and put on lime wire 4.18 and now i can not download any music but lime wire says it is currently connecting to network,and it is still not connected yet, i want to know what to do.:(:( |
Hi mariacarina43, In the end, none of the recommendations listed either in this forum or at the Limewire forum were of any help to me, including a detailed email from the support tech's at Limewire.:confused: I basically just scrubbed my o/s installation, reinstalled, updated to latest version of the Java runtime environment and then installed Limewire 4.18.3 from scratch. After all of this (a lot of work reinstalling all of my app's and utilities), Limewire then worked properly and has to this time. Don't really know what went wrong as none of my other app's (including those written with Java in mind) displayed any kind of problem, and for that matter, neither did the earlier version of Limewire? I use Limewire a lot so it was important for me to get it going again, hence the 'clean install' of the o/s. Maybe someone with a professional I.T. qualification can shed some light on what might have been happening. You may have to grit your teeth and do the same thing I did.... In the end it was the only thing that worked. Cheers mariacarina43,:) Dimal. |
Overkill Dear Dimal, Your car window got stuck: doesn't go up and doesn't come down. So you decided, after much pondering, that you will open the engine and take it appart, also the transmission gears, all the electric wires, the seats inside, take down the doors, open them up and after 4 days of work you reassembled the 1200 parts of your car. Now the window works fine. That's exactly what you did with LW. If the answer of LW technical support wasn't satisfactory, you keep pounding on them until your problem is solved. A shame of the waisted time and efforts, theirs and yours.:bangh: |
Too much span and viruses I've been a member since July 06. I've paid my dues, since I thought dl them for free was cheating, and it's not my thing. Then you wanted me to pay yet AGAIN for yet another update, which I refused to do. Lately, every time I try to dl a song, it either has a virus, spam, connection is invalid or corrupt. I gave up. One song messed up my computer so badly,my daughter had to fix it. Something needs to be done about whoever is dl these crappy songs on here. I'm actually afraid to use Limewire and have stopped, as much as I love it and miss it. It needs help,bigtime. |

There are organisations that would love to see the end of p2p & would sabotage the network. Click on this link for more info: Fake files showing up in search results Make sure that you check files with Bitzi before download: How to use Bitzi And some tips here (also tips for avoiding spam): How to find music In the end, it's up to the user to keep themselves safe ;) Make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan any file that you download - before you open the file. |
I cant find Bitzi ANYWHERE. I opened up Limewire, picked any song that came to me, selected it, and have been searching for Bitzi, opened everything up top I could, and its nowhere to be found. What am I doing wrong? Any and all help is appreciated, thanks. |
The official site is here Bitzi However, not all files are registered at Bitzi. More-so video files are registered there for looking up. :) If you do a bitzi search for a file that's not registered there, yes you will see a message saying bitzi bitprint could not be found. |
Ok, thanks so much. I'll have to work on it, appreciate your response. I've just gotten to the point where I'm actually afraid to dl anything. I also have Limewire Pro, I thought it would be easier than this,. Thanks again. |
Here's some files to beware of Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see). It will probably take a little time to learn those tricks of recognising them, however it's not so hard after a while. :) |
Ok, I've been using lw for a long while now but it seems to have stopped downloading anything!!!!!! everything is need more sources????????????? What's up? |
Probably lacking flavor if they all need more sauces. :D Try cancelling all your downloads, then go to incomplete folder in Library window, selecting them all & choose Resume. See if that helps. It does sometimes. :) |
Hi Guys, I have the same problem. Been using limewire happily for years and now all of a sudden torrents refuse to start up. I've cancelled the d/l's and uninstalled and re installed mulitple versions of limewire and nothing happens. Even when I download from piratebays top 100 list, it cant connect to anyone to share with. Very wierd.... Anyone have any tips? Audio downloads work (ones that I search through limewire for) but not torrents. I'm using an XP OS with DSL 54.0 Mb connection and I have the limewire 5.1.4 version. Any assistance would really be appreciated!! i'm Stumped and missing my movies! :o( |

Use LW for gnutella network, not for torrents. ;) |
thanks but it still strikes me as very odd.. :confused: I've downloaded countless torrents quite easily and quickly (I always found limewire much faster than all the other torrent programs including vuse and miro. Is there a chance its some kind of virus preventing me from connecting? I have tried other torrent focused programs and they have the same results.. this is why i'm concerned, its only a recent problem. appreciate the suggestion tho. Anna |
If they are older torrents, perhaps nobody is online at the time you are attempting to connect with those torrents. LW's torrent abilities are limited unfortunately. If you really prefer to persist with LW for torrents, get LW 5.2 or even the beta 5.3. :) LW has made some small improvements in their torrent implementation. ;) Download LimeWire 5.2.13 - Lime Wire _ or _ http://www.limewire.com/download/betaversion.php |
nah they're newer ones taken from pirate bay top 100 list! Hundreds of seeders etc.. thats why i'm stumped. I have just dled vuse tho and that seems to be working... its not as easy to configure as limewire... |
Vuse does have a learning curve, yes. But it does have a help & support area. Go to Help menu. There is both a vuse wiki for FAQ and also a vuse forum. :) For some questions you can PM me ... however I'm off to bed very soon. Vuse contains so much more information about the torrents than LW does. And Vuse will not be blocked like LW sometimes is. Just one point about Vuse: you do need to keep your share ratio up, otherwise if it drops below ... can't remember now .. think it's 0.3 or 0.5, downloads slow down until overall upload quantity catches up. Control 5 brings up Statistics page, then Transfers tab, you will see your overall ratio for both the session & overall (total). |
