Hey everyone, I am using Limewire for p2p right now, but I have just encountered a major problem.

I can't find nearly as many files as I used to be able to. Also, sometimes it will only find wma files without finding mp3. When I am able to download, it often stops or transfers extremely slow. I havent changed any settings on my comp.

I even tried switching to bearshare, and it does the same thing, sometimes not finding a single file with a popular search subject.

If anyone has any idea what's wrong, please let me know. Thanks.

p.s. Now it seems to be bringing up search results that arent close to what I typed.

Not a virus, limewire has slowed down significantly since the Grokster decision, try the alternative, Frostwire.

I dont think it's a virus...I have Norton Antivirus along with Zone Alarm. This all happened in one day. It was working very well in the morning, but that same night it slowed down considerably along with all the previously mentioned problems.
