Why can't Limewire find anything when I try to search, it comes up as 0?

Answer 1

Make sure it's connected to the network. Go under File and if the word Connect is clickable, you're not connected. Click that and you'll connect.

If it's search criteria, try using variations of what you're searching for. Like, just the song name, or just the artist name, or parts of the movie name.

Answer 2

Most likely, you are not asking the right questions. One thing that most people have trouble with is being TOO accurate. If you put in, "The Colour of My Love" by Celine Dion, the person who is offering the album on their machine may have put "The Color of My Love" for a title. In which case, you may never get a match.

On the other hand, if you just type in "Celine" or "Dion" you will get a LOT of matches. Then you can select what you want from the list that is displayed. I hope this helps

Answer 3

because THE MAN is trying to shut Limewire down! Music sharing instead of buying CD's and pirating and all that.

Answer 4

Make sure you are connected to the server. Also make sure that there would be files of the kind you are searching for. Test the connection by searching for something that is likely to be there.
Alternatively you can use one the following other methods to download:

The best option to download is to use the Torrent technology. To use torrents you must have a 'client' program through which you are able to download files.

You can use these links to download a client application:

BitComet - http://download.bitcomet.com/achive/BitComet_0.70.zip
uTorrent - http://download.utorrent.com/1.6/uTorrent-1.6-install.exe

The second thing you need is a .torrent file. A .torrent file lists the actual file (movie, mp3, application) that you are downloading.

To download .torrent files, visit:

http://torrentspy.com
http://torrentportal.com
http://isohunt.com
http://demonoid.com
http://thepiratebay.org/

Once you have downloaded the .torrent file, open it from the client application. This would initiate the download and connect you to peers or 'seeders'.

You can also download kazaa, a similar program to limewire but connects to a different server and hence has different/almost similar content as limewire. Click here to start the download for kazaalite:

You can also use emule, another program similar to limewire and kazaa. Click on the link below to start your emule downoad:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use irc for downloading. irc is a chat program with a number of chat channels, as well as channels for downloading. Go to http://mirc.com to download and learn how to conect to mirc, as this program is a bit different in using limewire, kazaa etc.
To download files from irc go here:

Another option for you is newsgroups and is then again requires a different process from that of the rest. However, its main advantage is that it gives you thebest speed than any other technology. To use newsgroups and how to download from there, go to the link:
