Hello sir
I don't think you can get the time to show in the search results. You'll find by watching the file size you'll learn to get a feel for time needed to download, but those times vary greatly. Half the fun of downloading is finding something that will download quickly; most of the time the files are real teasers: they start quickly, then stop or quit altogether. Still, waking up to find a complete file or more is addictive. I've read that about 10% of downloads succeed, so patience is a virtue.

If you are wondering about the length of time a song or movie will play, that too is dependent on file size. Higher quality sound and sight means much more information needs to be stored--a bigger file size.

Sorry if that's too much or too little information: the short answer is the filesize is the number to watch. Once you've started a download, Limewire will do the calculations to show you how the rate of download converts into time remaining.

Regards
Stief (just learning too)
