Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Be wary of fake results which are obvious by their high no. of search results. If you see results with 101 or one, 100 for the next, 99, etc. then ignore them because you'll never downld them. And instead, choose those with only about 10 or 20 sources.

Also, make a note of all your LW settings & do this: Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)
