I use limewire to download songs. I've had limewire for about 2 years, usually it works fine and downloads fast. but lately when i put the name of the song i want, nothing comes up...i've even let it search for an hour or more but nothin comes up. Has anyone else experienced this.

It might have various reasons which is difficult to explain all of them. I'm just trying to list the likeliest ones.
Your computer might be infected by some spayware which causes other programmes don't work properly. It is more likely if you have not installed a new Windows for more than a year.
Another reason might be that the port which is used by limewire to search other users files has been blocked for some reason. Basically sharing programmes such as limewire are using open ports of your computer to search and transfer data. Each port has a unique number (such as 21,80,etc). For some reason these ports might be closed by the user(you) or some spyware. I'm afraid it is difficult to explain the solution here as it is very technical. I suggest these solutions in priority. Try the first, if it doesn't work go to the next:
1- uninstall it and delete the whole folder of limewire in program files and restart your computer and install it again
2- try some similar programmes such as iMesh which is as good as limewire (especially i you most use limewire for downloading music and not software)
3- Ask somebody to open the closed port
4- Format your windows drive and reinstall windows. This will definitely work
Sorry about looooong answer! I hope it will be helpful
PS: You might know, but please ignore the answer which says you have used limewire illegally. It is not true!

You've been stealing other people's creations for two years now, and it's likely the the RIAA is on to you now. They have probably disabled Limewire, and they are likely to disable your internet connection now. You can go to jail for a long time for stealing.
