Most of the results are from earlier than LW 4.16 versions. Such versions are too often used for spamming. The way I can tell is the Speed setting on them. T1, T3, Cable are all now obsolete specifications within LW designating that those search results are from 'old' versions. I do not see one single 'Broadband' or 'Modem' connection amongst them.

My guess is you are connected to 'spam' ultrapeers. Best way to rid of them is go to Connections window, check the version they are running, if less than LW 4.18 then remove them one by one, being careful not to lose connection of course. You could even ban their ip addresses though they may be using dynamic ip's.

Here's a couple other things to try:

(a) Problems with the search, __ (b) Hostiles List

But you are saying the earlier versions are ok, but the LW 4.17 & 4.18 versions are problematic?
(BTW LW 4.17.4 & higher versions will not upload to versions earlier than 4.14.)

I rarely see such earlier versions now. Which version did you say you are using? If less than 4.18 then you should update! Otherwise if earlier than 4.14 you will never download from the later versions. I think this 'is' your problem, you are using an 'older' version of LW which now will not be properly uploaded to by the newer versions.

'If' you were going to use the new LW version, you would need to delete your previous LW preferences folder. This might be why you were having problems with it. Just in case make a back up of preferences folder if you wish to try again. And btw, in the new LW version, the download.dat preferences are stored in the preferences folder now, not the incomplete folder. Also for windows, the saved & Shared folders are actually implemented on the computer so a new download location is initiated compared to before. (oh .. forgot to mention, you should probably make a backup of your downloads.dat & .bak files in your incomplete folder 'if' you do update experimentally, just in case. I back up LW preferences folder & download preferences when using a beta or alpha, etc.)

lol no I am no expert. Just like to help 'if' I can at all.

To be honest I cannot really give such an opinion. I loved LW 4.0.8 for up to a couple years after it was released. Preferring it over 4.09-4.11 from memory. I think 4.12 was where LW started to get it back together in my opinion. Either 4.12 or 4.13/14. I know some helpers on this forum prefer 4.12. I am presently running 4.16.6 on my system because for some reason I cannot run 4.18 on this specific OSX installation. I did install a 2nd operating system on the same computer & 4.18 runs ok on there. But still have not found the reason why 4.18 run on this identical operating system on same computer. LW 4.16 is ok, but a few small bugs. Keep in mind different versions of LW run differently on each person's system. On one computer it might do well, on a 2nd computer on same network might be trouble-some. A version one person is having problems with, might be the ideal version for another person.
