Yes. Commonly found virus sizes & auto renaming you will see can be seen here: Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see)

They spam the network in an attempt to prevent copyright file sharing. Some files have viruses, some are deliberately corrupted in some form or fashion, some are audio sounds, some audio songs with overdubs, some are image adverts, small videos tend to be adverts for porn sites.

Good idea to add certain words to your keyword filter to block various junk spam from your search results; check both links within this one: Direct instructions to eliminate porn from results

I know that Limewire does not give refunds, because they have a free version for people to test out. Since they is no sign-in or anything, who would stop people from just saying that their Limewire does not work and demand money back.

This is of course if you bought it from limewire.com if not, then you have been scammed and should contact your credit card company for a refund. There are a lot of scam sites promising people millions of legal free songs, Lifetime membership etc. They are selling a product that in no way belongs to them in the first place.

I did buy it from Lime Wire Pro, the free version was to slow, in the beginning it worked just fine. Now it works once every month if i am lucky.
I just want the darn thing to work!
Why don't they do something about it? and who do you talk to so you can complain?

Phone number at top of your receipt I believe.

If you have a connection problem, which you obviously do, then you can try to solve it else forget all about it.

Connection problems are the 'user's' fault, not the people who created the program. Every single p2p sharing program out there has users who have difficulty connecting properly or at all. :)

If you wish to try to solve your connection problem & have some motivation to trying different things, then go to the LW Connection problem section & create a new thread & supply these details: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

In meantime, try out all of these suggestions, sometimes a combination works: If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link). For many people, replacing their gnutella.net file has fixed their problem. For others it might be more complicated such as configuring their modem/router for port forwarding, etc. :)

My connection and kable is perfect, i do not have a firewall and i paid for a service that doesnt excist. I bought thrue the internet, paid with my creditcard. So how can i call some one?

Lord of the Rings December 31st, 2008 08:59 AM

I just told you. Read my post again since I was editing whilst you posted. lol :D
Your connection to internet is fine yes. But your connection to gnutella network is zilch by the sounds. If you were playing online games, you would most likely have same problems. ;) Some online activities are more complicated than simply opening a browser & doing what you wish. ;)

And sorry, we do not post out LW's telephone number on the site. If you are a pro user, go to their site, go to Support page, enter details & send an email. :)

We do not work for LW, and this site is independent. We are also simply hobbyist volunteers.

It's already new year here by several hours. Happy new year btw. :)

amyrose December 31st, 2008 09:28 AM

I do play online games and they go fine! Happy new year and thanks..

Lord of the Rings December 31st, 2008 09:35 AM

If you just want to complain to LW then we can leave it at that. Otherwise if you wish us to look at your connection problem to the gnutella network, then follow my advice in post #16 above. :)

(BTW LW do leave their phone no. on the credit card receipt I believe.)
