New user in need of help!!
 

Ok so I have had Limewire for a bit, been using it to download songs. Still a lot of this escapes me!

I use the free version, for now, as I am still not sure of it. How do I stop people from downloading the songs I have? I have looked for some form of button, or option, but have yet to find one!

On the Monitor tab there is a chat button, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work, how to chat with someone!

Skins, I have downloaded a few skins, but there are not many I like. Are the people of lime wire planning to make and release more? I like to change the looks of my limewire often, right now I have the christmas skin up! I wish I knew how to make them!

How can I upload an avatar picture to be used on this forum!?

Hopefully someone here can help me cause these questions have been driving me nuts! :(

Tools>Options>Uploads>Slots (set slots to zero, click Apply & OK)

Thank you!!
 

Woohoo, that is one question down!! Thanks for helping me, I went and followed your directions, now that part should be fine.:)

Re: Thank you!!
 

I don't know about CHAT because the few times I have tried to use it I never get a response...I dunno if I'm being ignored or whether my CHAT function is wrong or the other person's CHAT isn't enabled. Just like BROWSE HOST...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you want to experiment around with BROWSE HOST or CHAT LMK, we can do DIRECT CONNECT (maybe) & learn something.

Best regards,

You don't want anyone to download any of your songs. So, are you saying that you want to be a freeloader? Heh!

Freeloader = "Leech"




Dashed mosquitos lol :D Where's the Aerogarde when you need it? I suppose it's all about I, me & only myself! Share with myself.

I'm surprised that no one attacked VirtualTuneage for that comment.

I AM NEW, DOWNLOAD SAFE??
 

I AM NEW TO THIS GIFT ON COMPUTER GIVEN TO ME -****** MUSIC i WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH OTHER ... HOW DO I DO IT FROM MY WINMEDIA PLAYER SEND TO LIMEWIRE PRO 4.9??

IS IT OKAY TO BYPASS THE POP : "NO LICENSE FOUND" TO DOWNLOAD FROM SOMEONE HERE ???

hOW DO I SHARE MY MUSIC WITH OTHERS WHO LOVE ALL TYPE OF MUSIC??? HELP ME PLEAZEEEEEEEEE.

Freeloader?
 

Perhaps VirtualTuneage is on dial up & wants to conserve his bandwidth.

I turn off uploading sometimes, for several reasons:

a) the person uploading from me doesn't allow browsing their files.

b) they won't chat. if I can browse someone I can find out what their interests are & maybe I have something they're interested in. I change my shared folders every day, perhaps, say I browse someone & notice they have a fair collection of "A" files & I have an ENORMOUS collection of "A" files the person might want. If they want to chat I can let them know & maybe we can direct connect, if they don't have chat enabled or won't reply then they lose a good source.

Who's keeping score on who is freeloading anyway? I notice in Options there is a slider to NEVER & Rarely allow freeloaders...does Limewire track this?

1. How to share: See How to Share Folders (click on link)

2. I presume your other music is in your Music folder right? Which might be either C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\My Documents\Music OR C:\Music

3. Re: the license popup, yes you can adjust it in search options: License requirement (click on link)
