crappy search results
 

hey guys this is wierd before i could get mostly what i wanted like all the mp3 types now after i have been haveing this problem. Look whenever i search for japanese artists or chinese artists i always get wma results that are not even related to my serach results. And yes i did the 4 star rating thing. does anyone no what happened cause i could get fine results last week

Why not filter out wma by putting .wma into your keyword filter. Results can vary from day to day or week to week. Check some of the tips here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=63483

autogenerated spam results & autogenerated mp3 spam results, you can use your junk filter for these. After doing a few times the filter learns to filter them out. Just be sure you filter out bad stuff & not good or your filter will be learning the wrong things.

i filtered out the wma files now im not getting anything.. BEFORE I COULD GET ALL MP3 TYPES WTF HAPPENED

Try varying your search techniques. Although audio search is most recommended, sometimes doing an All Types search can also be very effective. When the results come in, click on audio to filter out the other results. Vary your search title ... be imaginative. And if you find one that has something similar, then attempt to browse them. I use browse & direct connect all the time & get new results & extra sources for what I'm looking for be it specifically or generally what I'm looking for.

There are some days or perhaps a whole week when searching results are crappy. But it won't always be like that. Also, it can be related to ultrapeers you are connected to. So some people will disconnect, wait a few mins & reconnect, or wait a few hours & then reconnect. That's because there's a good chance you can connect to better ultrapeers who are connected to good sources, or/& different people are online. The people online changes all the time. People come & go. Also, those that spam fakes also don't work 24 hrs a day.

thx for the help but look like a few weeks ago or a longtime ago i could ALWAYS get what i want.. now everyday it is like this.. is it like spyware or virus??? cause it just suddenly happened


oh yeah now that i filitered out the wma i am getting nohthing

1. 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.)

2. If still no good, then try the beta 4.13 http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml
