What can I do? A: There may have been an error in the transmission of the installer causing it to become corrupt while it was being downloaded.

Q: I try to start LimeWire and nothing happens. What's the problem? A: First check to make sure that LimeWire is not already running in your system tray (next to the time). If you see it, click the lime icon to restore LimeWire (you may need to click the left arrow ' Control Panel) and then redownload and install it.
Q: Why do I sometimes lose my connection to the Gnutella network? A: Intermittent connectivity can be the sign of a faulty internet connection, limitations imposed by your ISP, or errors caused by any hardware/software applications connected with your internet connection, such as driver incompatibilities, old hardware, a slow/overloaded ISP or many other possibilities. Also, if you get disconnected from the Gnutella network, it will have no impact on your downloads already in progress.
There is also a known issue that affects some Windows XP SP2 systems that causes LimeWire to disconnect and remain disconnected. Q: How come I only connect to a few host? I used to connect to many more hosts. A: High performance and bandwidth machines on the network are recognized by LimeWire as 'Ultrapeers'.
These machines accept connections from many LimeWire clients while also connecting to the rest of the Gnutella network. Moreover, the Ultrapeer shields these 'regular' LimeWire clients from the CPU and bandwidth requirements associated with Gnutella, directing traffic to clients in an efficient manner. The reason you see only a few connections in your connections tab is because you are a LimeWire client connected to an Ultrapeer. Unfortunately, not all Ultrapeers are as good as others. If you find that you aren't getting many search results with the Ultrapeers you are connected to, simply disconnect and connect. You'll probably connect to different Ultrapeers that are more 'connected'. Also, as time goes on and the network grows, you'll receive more results.
Moreover, we are currently working hard to ensure that any Ultrapeer you connect to will be well connected - stay tuned to future versions of LimeWire. Q: Why can't I find the file I'm looking for? A: The content of the Gnutella network consists solely of files which people running Gnutella software are sharing. If no one is sharing the particular file you're looking for, you won't be able to find it using LimeWire. Furthermore, even if somebody running Gnutella software IS sharing the file you're looking for, it's possible that person doesn't fall within your reachable area. In this case, you won't be able to find the files you're looking for, either.
Since the entire Gnutella network isn't always reached with each search, searching for the same thing a second time may yield more results. The Gnutella network is continuously growing. In general, the more people who use the Gnutella network (and the longer they keep the application running), the more good content will be available to everyone.
Q: Why do some things take so long to download? A: The speed at which a download takes place is limited by both the bandwidth of the downloader and by the bandwidth of the uploader. A file cannot by transferred faster than the uploader is capable of sending it, nor can it be transferred faster than the downloader is capable of receiving it. If you have a fast Internet connection and you are trying to download a file from a person with a slow connection, your transfer is going to take place rather slowly.
Furthermore, some clients limit the speed at which they will upload files for the sake of saving bandwidth. Q: Might I download a virus using LimeWire?
A: LimeWire does not keep any record of files being shared on the Gnutella network, nor does it scan any files being uploaded or downloaded for viruses. Therefore, if you attempt to download a virus-infected file using LimeWire, you will be vulnerable to any viruses contained in that file. Generally speaking, you should be very careful when downloading files with a.exe or.vbs suffix, since these files are more likely than most to be viruses. LimeWire's Library will also not open these files, so you can only run a file with a virus from outside LimeWire. Scanning the files you download with some sort of virus-protection software is also a good idea. Q: How do I prevent downloading bogus files that are actually advertisements? A: Some servers on the Gnutella network serve advertisements with false filenames to fake popular search results.
If you find yourself downloading search results that end up being advertisements, you can stop receiving search results from that host by doing the following:. On Mac, highlight the search result in question by clicking on it. Hold down the apple key and click the mouse. Check 'Block User'.
On Windows, right click the search result and 'Block User'. Additionally, you can mark suspicious search results as junk by selecting them, right clicking and selecting 'Mark as Spam'. If a file has been marked as spam that is a valid search result, it can be 'Unmark as Spam'. LimeWire will learn over time which search results are valid and filter out the spam results accordingly. Firewall Issues. Q: How do I transfer files to my iPod? A: LimeWire can not transfer files directly to your iPod.
ITunes integration places a playlist of the files contained in LimeWire's Library in iTunes. If you are trying to transfer downloaded files with LimeWire to the iTune's Library, select the file in LimeWire's Library that you would like to transfer by clicking it.
After releasing the mouse button, click and drag the file into iTunes. To select more than one file, use the Ctrl or Shift keys on your keyboard. Compatibility Issues. Q: What's the difference between LimeWire BASIC and LimeWire PRO?
