In fact, i think LW4 was better than LW5 !

I had 100 downloads but not in the same time ! I fact, i said i had about 100 but they was perhaps a bit less...
I just allowed 6 downloads in the same time. All others where in the list and was waiting for one completed files to start download.

I must admit i don't use the "search" function of LW. Sometimes it gives curious results... I have better tools for this ! I just use LW to download...

I tried to make a new search for the files i still can view in "show all" but there were no result for that. So i searched an other file and found it. I just started to download it.

All other files with "stalled" status had "searching for people with this file..." status after the start of the download. But i didn't see any file more.
I'll wait to have this new file compete to see if something change. I must admit i have a little, little (very little !) hope...

I tryied to close and re-open LW with this new file in download list but nothing change...

You'll read me very soon !

Thanks for all...

You can easily go back to using LW 4 if you think it's better than LW 5

LW basic users can download here: Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers

And Pro users have a link on the left side of their Pro download page - 'Get LimeWire Classic'.

Are you downloading torrents - using another site for the search & then opening the torrent with LW? LW's not a good torrent client. It doesn't keep track of share ratio, there's no way of choosing which files you want to download from within a torrent & there seem to be issues with continuing seeding torrents after the file's downloaded. I don't use private trackers but I've heard that LW's banned on some private trackers.
You're better off using a dedicated torrent client - the 2 most popluar are
Vuze and uTorrent.

Thanks for your ideas !

In fact, i was download from emule, then newsgroups and now from torrent.
You've got right with the method. I use some sites to have torrent files and use LW for download.

I'm not a pro (for sure !). I tried LW4 and think it works well. I paid for the LW5 for updates and support. I'm not sure to want to downgrade to LW4 after given my $ !
I contacted support and i'm waiting for an answer from them...

If i don't have a good solution, i'll change this f*@#ing LW with an other soft !
