Download feature does not work

birdy.. thank you so much much.. luvee...

Hey guys same thing is happening to me,I use to be able to download just fine but now,I'm getting the same problem,I can download some songs,but most I can't,even when there's a crazy amount of people who have it.I kinda noticed that these songs are pretty popular songs,mostly songs on i-tunes(if that has anything to do with it).Also there seems to be a lot of people in other threads having this problem with this latest version.I honestly think is a bug,and I'm on a mac.

It is fake files, but these are some type of new ones that just showed up recently. They show up at the top of the list when sorted by # of sources and have legitimate file sizes too. But you can identify them by adding the bitrate column to Limewire -- these files have no bitrate info while the legit files do. See attachment -- the fake file is the one marked as downloading...

Good info StephenMSmith, I never noticed the absence of the Bitrate before...Cheers...

ok so i read all of this and did what the people said. but nothing worked. I click on a song to download and it sits there connecting and then it will go to need more sources. i have the latest version of limewire. i also have a brick wall in front of my world thing. I have all green bars. and i have a constant connection with my local DSL. There are multiple users on this computer and it works for the other users except me. so can someone please instruct me as to what i need to do?
Thanks much!!!

Thanks for the tip but still ain't working,allthe files I'm trying to download and don't work have bitrate.So I still think it's a bug

4.12.3, I think.

Don't know why you jump threads to say that your Norton keeps popping up instead of posting it here ??

That means that you haven't reconfigured it correctly and may also be part of your downloading problem

UKBobby gave detailed explainations on how to do this

Did you remove all previous exceptions before doing this (You should have)

Thanks for your reply. I'll try UKBobby's proposed solution.
