wont download connecting (99 hosts tried) thats all it does for everything or needs more sources when it has enough |
Have you ever been able to download files? There are heaps of fake files throughout the network & these typically have lots of sources but will sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Check out the threads below for info & tips (make sure to use Bitzi to check files before download). Fake files showing up in search results How to find music If absolutely every file needs more sources (even old songs with a single modem source), try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. |
hello I am having the same problem. I d/l about 30 files and now it say download connecting (99 hosts tried). I dont understand why I could d/l and 10 min later I can. Can anyone help? I tried deleting the .limewire folder but that did not help. Thanks |
Have you tried downloading a file with a single modem source? What happens then? Deleting the preferences folder has been a fix for those people who suddenly find that literally everything they try to download needs more sources. If you're going to delete the prefs folder, don't forget to look for one in the new location of C:\Document and settings\your username\Application Data\LimeWire (hidden by default). The .limewire folder is the old prefs location, for LW versions older than 4.9.34. |
