Bad Search Results!
 

Hi,

I recently bought Limewire Pro, and I am finding it absolutely useless.
I have a 6MB line and up/down speeds set to unlimited in options.
I dont have Ultrapeer disabled, all my router ports and software firewall ports are opened and confirmed working.
My Limewire reports a Turbo-Charged Connection.
I dont have options set to filter any files.
Junk filter is off (at least until I figure out whats wrong)..all I seem to get is junk results.

....
But yet, I have NEVER seen a file sharing program with such bad search results.
The only thing that even returns a result is when I test the search with very common search words like Beatles etc and even at that I might get maybe 150 results in total. (Other file sharing software would return 1000's of legitimate results).
Most searches return nothing but junk, and if I filter the junk I am left with zero hits on my search.

Is there a reason that its so bad, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help, I'm totally new to Limewire so hopefully I'm just doing something wrong.

Thanks
Bren

Hey, Bren It will really help you if you read some of these post in the forum. What I have done that works really well is to go to Tools > Options > Filter > Keywords and then add these file extensions: .wma, .exe, .rar, .html, .com, .zip, .mov. Be sure to tick apply and O.K. There are a ton of fake and corrupt files with these extensions. I will only download mp3 files that are larger than 2000kb. Hope this helps
