Exclamation Trouble Downloading Music

I just now have bought the limewire PRO software and there's just no way that I can download music. It says that i'm connected, but there's a sign that says "only search results with a lock are official limewire communications"
Is there a way that I can download music bypassing this?

Those results being blocked are Junk. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Filters>Junk & turn the junk filter setting to almost but not on zero to the left. Also click option to show junk results at bottom of search results.

Now ... any file you find that is less than 1,000 KB (1 MB) is most likely junk (ie: spam, viruses, etc.) So that gives you an idea how to work the junk filter. When you see files that are around 700 KB or 197 KB then you know they are spam & select them & click trash can icon so the junk filter knows they are junk. The junk filter needs to be trained bit by bit, so you will need to keep doing this. Likewise, if you see search results at bottom that have trash can next to them but are larger than 1 MB, then select, press trash can icon so they are no longer junk.

Here's some links worth having a look at: 1. Beware of Fake files in search results; ____ 2. Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results; ____ 3. How to find music
