I was just browsing hrough this forum and read the one that says "lime wire sux!" and someone there suggested using another program called Shareaza. I just downloaded it and it works awesome! The installation is really easy and straightforward and everything runs smoothly. The little blurb on their website says it was constructd based on user sugestions, and it's got all the features I would suggest. Anyone struggling with Limewire should give Shareaza a try. There's no spyware or garbage and I went from downloading the program to searching for files in les then 10 minutes.
