Going Crazy, Please Help!!! (downloads stuck at 0%)
 

First off, my apologies in advance if i come off as being mad, this thing is pissing me off :mad:!!

Here's my problem im having.

I'm connected to the network, and i find my search results fine. But when i click on the file i want to download, it stays at 0% and wont download. I've tried to use different files of the same thing that i want so it all isnt coming from the same source, but still its a no go :mad:.

How in the world can i have 5 different downloads (of the same thing) going and NONE of them are working? Its taking WAY too long to download a song, hell, 98% of the ones i try arent even working...what gives?

Ive had no other problems from any other p2p program, they download a million times faster then this. I checked the faq and changed the view to "revert to default" like it said, nothing is working. I'm going nuts here help!!

Can you supply these details please...

Sounds like you have selected to D/L some 'phoney files'.

These are false files... empty files... The size looks OK and there may be loads of others apparently sharing them...
And, unfortunately for the moment, LimeWire seems to bear the brunt of these azzholes...

Please have a good solid search within these forums for more info on this nasty little trickery...
