corrupt installer fixed
 
I got it to work. Someone suggested increasing the memory allocation to 3000K I did it and the installer worked fine. I don't know why it said the installer was corrupt it should have said there was not enough memory.

One thing though has anyone noticed with LW 2.0 when you chceck the stats that it says there are only 3 or 4 other users online with you? This is no matter how long you stay online. When I check the stats on 1.8 it tells me hunderds and thousands are online at the same time. So right now I'm sticking to 1.8. Is it just me or am I doing something wrong?

The statistics in pretty much all LimeWire versions have been pretty innaccurate, and they do not reflect the true capacity of the network.

This is basically because it''s tricky to communicate this between computers on a fully distributed network without using up more bandwidth than it would be worth. We basically made the decision that it did not make sense to use up a lot of bandwidth on the network for the sake of more accurate statistics and at the cost of slowing down downloads and uploads (particularly for modem users).

The new UltraPeer technology in LimeWire 2.0 and above also changed the way messages are passed in this area. So, my point is that these statistics should not be taken too seriously at all.

I would strongly recommend that everyone give LimeWire 2.1.1 beta a try, as it has several enhancements that should dramatically improve your search results.
