Demon from hell!!! I followed your instructions and now my computer it TOTALLY f****cked!!! i CLICK ON SOME OF MY FAVORITES AND THEY DON'T CONNECT! (Can't view page, blah blah blahI CAN'T VIEW PICS!!!! I'M SO NOT HAPPY!!!
I hope nobody else listens to you becuase you come off sounding like a knowledgable person but WRONG WRONG WRONG!!
You need to get out of here, or go back to school or something! Before you f**ck everyone else up!

Sorry to hear. Nothing I suggested would have caused that if you did it correctly. And I never suggested doing a system restore, that was 'your' idea. So send blame where it's due. :p And a merry xmas to you too. :p BTW break the forum rules once more & Birdy or myself or another moderator may just react. You have been warned.

Hi, I use Limewire also, and have had no problems with it, except when I was IE 7.0. I have since uninstalled it, and again find it working just fine. I've downloaded many different type songs.
Don't give up.

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I've heard IE 7 is not well designed, does not follow same protocols as almost every other browser on the market. Nothing unusual for M$ to muck yet something else up. lol :D

Limewire is no longer searching
 
The exact same thing is happening to me.

1) I checked my java and it's the latest one
2) I tried this
Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
It is also wise to go to your Filters, to find this go to Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...
204.11.219.225
204.11.219.226
204.11.219.227
204.11.219.229
204.11.219.231
and that didn't work so I tried
3) I just can't seem to find my .limewire file no matter how hard I search. I am running WinXP

Limewire was working just fine yesterday and now it's just up and decided not to search. Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks in advance :)

.limewire was for the older users.
Go to Connections window, get rid of any ultrapeer that is not LW 4.18 by selecting them & removing. Do it one by one though otherwise you will lose connection. Those are more likely to be spam or trouble-some UP's. Then see if search results improve. :)

OK I'm feeling a bit dense here. What connections window are we talking about?

lol I wondered if you might not see it. Go to View menu, Show/Hide -> Connections. :)

EADragongirl December 27th, 2008 03:13 AM

How to I know which ones aren't LW 4.18?
 
There's a whole pile there....? Thanks for telling me where to look! :)

oh ... sounds like you might be in Ultrapeer mode if more than 10 connections. Sometimes ultrapeer mode can affect searches. You can try disabling Ultrapeer mode & see if that helps. Tools -> Options -> Performance, check Disable Ultrapeer.
