Help Please: Song Connection Failure At first, it was just one song that wouldn't connect to download. I tried many different ones of the same song and none will work. Now, I can't get hardly anything to download. It just say connecting and eventually it will come to a point where it says needs more sources. I have tried many different ones to get the same results. I have the newest version of LimeWire, Windows XP, high speed internet, and a router. Please please help me resolve this problem if you can. Thanks so much.

Brandon, everyone here is a volunteer. We help on the forum in our spare time & so sometimes it takes a while to have your question answered Don't forget that we're all in different time zones too, at certain times there just aren't many people around to help. It's a PITA when a song won't download but honestly, all you can do is keep searching. If other songs will download then it's not a problem with your LW. The particular song (no artist names or titles please!!) you're looking for... how many stars are beside it? The more stars the better, if it's a 2 or even 3 star connection, the source might be firewalled & you may not be able to push through their firewall to download. You can see how many sources have a file by looking at the # column. Try to go for a file with multiple sources. |

Connecting.... (Fake files or copy protection) I've been seeing this a lot over the past year and it seems to be getting worse. I first thought it was some kind of advertising mechanism within Limewire but even trying older versions I get the same results. I still don't understand how a fake file can instantly display search results of 100-99-98 down to about 49 with different file sizes so quick. After all, if you can't download 100-49 then how are they being shared? You are correct in that songs with less than 10 shares will usually download ok but sometimes there are none so how is this happening and is there anything Limewire can do to exclude them? It also does seem to be worse on the most popular songs or artists so I suppose it's the artists or RIAA who is planting these bogus files. If anybody has a solution I'd love to hear it. |
