is anyone else having problems searching? I only get one or two files to come up when I used to get a lot more... should I be doing something diferently?

Maybe only one or two people were sharing those files. Try this. Search for "Limp Bizkit" and see how many files you get. You should get quite a lot of files.

no... something's wrong... I only got one file for Limp Bizkit... but 10 for Dandy Warhols

you got to be a little patient after starting LimeWire, it takes a few minutes to find stable connections.

Good point, trap_jaw. This happends to me when I start LimeWire. It takes me a few minutes for it to find stable connections.

thanx for the heads up, however, I'm talking about the program being open for an hour and still getting squat. I should be getting a lot of files. The problem seems to be the software. At my house, where I have a very old version, I am getting tons more results, than at my dorm (using the beta). Searching for Iggy Pop, I only got 7 results. Now, I am on an etherent connection... could this be part of the problem?

many dorms limit/block filesharing. Try running the same version in both places to check, or ask around the dorm. It's a real pain to troubleshoot when someone is actively messing with your communications upstream.
