Plz help me!!!! Starts a search but no results come up!
 

whenever i try to search for anything on limewire it starts a search but no results come up. when i try to define the search it says im too specific!!!! even if i typed in the name of a song and the artist!!!!!!!! plz help me this is the second time i downloaded limewire and its really frustrating!!!:mad: :bangh:

tanx!!!!

Try just searching using artist or album. This might cut down on the amount of fake files you'd see in results as well:)

If you're getting a blank results page, that's a bit different. For this type of problem, follow the advice in the thread below
Blank results page

well i tried that tanx for the tip!! but the results page is blank and i tried everything in that thread but still nothing works!!:confused: my friends tried 2 help 2 but they couldnt figure it out!!

Tanx again!!!! :rolleyes_2:

What happened when you tried to download a file from magnetmix?
Did you make sure that LW was completely closed when you deleted the preferences folder?
Have you used any other p2p apps before & if so, were there any problems?

Give us your details please (click on link for more info)

ya i tried dat nd it worked, i deleted d preferences folderwen lw was closed, nd it still doesnt work.......there was a bit of progress though it said there was files found but i cudnt download them or view them.
i'm using windows xp but i added lw 2 my exception list nd it still says im behind a firewall. im using the latest version of lw. if that information is any help!!

Tanx again!!!!!:rolleyes_2:

It could be something to do with your ISP. Since you're firewalled, it could be something to do with your modem/router. Who knows????
If you'd give us some details, we might be able to help a bit more:wink:

hint - go back to post #4 where I said "give us your details, please (click on link for more info)"

Im using windows xp, im firewalled by windows, i hav 512mb of ram, 20gb hdd,im using a broadband connection, its netopia,im using lw version 4.12.6 and java 1.5.0_08, my isp is eircom, i clicked on the link and it said "your test worked" im not sharing the connection, this is my 2nd attempt at lw as the same thing happened before.

Tanx again!!!!:)

Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Try an experiment, try downloading a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us what happens. All you need to do is click on one of the download links & LimeWire should then handle the file.


Edit: I did some searching around. I can't find anything that suggests your ISP is filtering (other than the link below), but that doesn't mean they don't filter or block p2p sharing. Clearwire who you probably know of, do shape bandwidth for p2p sharing.

But Eircom apparently are shaping for Bit Torrents: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?...3&cid=14655408
