Mathew0090 Hi.

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The record company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Try typing only the key words of the file, & leave out the small words (small words trigger SPAM results)

P.P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

Peace

Many .zip, .exe & .rar files are infected. Those program files that aren't infected usually won't work as they need a CD or code to run. I'd stay away from these files, but if you do choose to download them make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & scan everything that you download before you open it;)
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

Having LW Pro will not magically make files work....if people are sharing program files that won't work, or are infected, it doesn't matter if you're using LW Pro or basic...effect is the same.

Hi folks, have just downloaded the new lw version 4.18.2 and am having problems with sound quality, i am getting a lot of spiking in all my music downloads now, have never had any probs till the new version, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Col

What player are you using, not LimeWire's I hope its Poor
Try the VLC player, it plays most anything.
Use this link.
