As you can read in the title of this posting ,I cant use Limewire anymore to find the dance music I like because it seems that nobody on the network has the songs I hear on the different Internet Radio Stations...it seems that they are too new...so if I find some one in the listings it surely will not download because of the scarcity of sources(or download less than 5%)and they will be thrown by the computers of the network to the trash can (waiting for sources)...so my actual percentage of downloading failure is 100%...
I inspected my computer thoroughly and I found nothing wrong in all the settings...I operate with a D-LINK wireless router,a Motorola modem model S84200, and have a firewall from which Limewire and other applications are exempt..my operative system is a Windows xp machine with a LAN speed of 100mbps...
What can I do?...Must I throw Limewire also to the trash can...or must I wait some years until those songs will be available?...

Personally I use both LW & Phex. I find I can often connect to a broader range of the gnutella network with Phex because it connects to many more of the 'other' gnutella client programs whereas LW mostly only connects to other LW users. Thus, if seeking rare or difficult to find material I will often revert to Phex.

Bittorrent is another option. I keep all these options alive. But I do not use LW for torrents. I use Vuse.

When I use LW I try to browse host with similar material as I am seeking. Sometimes that in itself can lead to material I am seeking or help in later searches by connecting across a different spectrum of ultrapeers.

Dear Lord of the Rings:
Thanks for your info but I finally took the decision to throw Limewire to the trash can because it is a useless network in which its computers are the laziest of all the computers in this planet which have decided not to work anymore and everything ends waiting for sources (ETERNALLY).
I am really very sad about it but there is no choice.In this network you can download only Madonna(if you are lucky enough)...AND NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!
I will try with Phex and see what happens...perhaps we will meet also there in the forum.
Bye and best regards

LW is not the network you chode smoking moron....sheesh....its simply a lamer program that uses the Gnutella network (one of many...some lame...others pretty damned good)
