Limewire is old/outdated and being "scanned" by feds. I would recommend using a new client. Possibly Shareaza (my personal favorite its connects to 3 P2P networks including the one limewire uses!)or eDonkey. If you dont like any of those the people that made Limewire made a new P2P client called FrostWire. google it.

Personally I wouldnt trust it. From my own personal experience I can atest to the files ive downloaded being either infected(viruses) or the completely wrong file. I also believe they are in a court battle currently. Like I said before I would go with Shareaza. Its free and since its made under the General Public User License it means its 100% free of viruses,spyware,adware,bloatware,malware nothings in it. It doesnt ask you to purchase a pro version or anything. And it searches 3 major P2P networks! this is their homepage http://www.shareaza.com

When Limewire says need more sources it means that no one on line has this file to share. Also the more files you share with people the more files you can download. Many people do not share their files with someone that only shares a few files. Have fun share and download.

One option under (internet) connection is "Ignore private/local IP addresses". should that be checked, because mine is. I have many files being shared so i dont know why im not getting many results. I cannot get sources to download either!

i listen to a lot of rap music. is that the reason? Ok, try this. The Song " Still Dre " I searched for it and didnt get a single result. I searched for it on limewire and got sooo many! What the heck!?
What do you guys think about Morpheus. I tried that once and it was good. Should i use that?

Dude everyones saying go with Shareaza. And when you say you ahvd problems downloading something if it was using shareaza I will personally help you and their site has a bunch of forums. Dont go with Morpheus or Limewire/ Morpheus has adware and Limewire is soon going to be illegal. You dont have to share to download and the music you listen to has no impact on anything.

I'd avoid sharazaa as well, actually.
If you can't find the music you're looking for via BT, then use soulseek. It's...well...nice.

I cant make you picj a client I can only make suggestions but please take into account the list of P2P apps at this site (http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/p2p/) they installed all of them and basically made a clean and infected list. They try to update it as much as possible. So this would be a good place to look.

All you guys using these public tracker programs like limewire, shareaza and the others are painting a big bullseye on your forehead. The authorities are using these clients to track down BT users. I suggest using Azuerus or uTorrent which now comes with encryption which a lot of private trackers are going to so users IP's and info is blocked from being read by anyone outside the site you belong to. You can still use them to download from public trackers, once in a blue moon I'll find something and quickly download it and run. But my advice is to get on a private tracker as soon as possible. And it's not just the US that's tracking this data, but the Brits and other countries that consider this wrong are joining forces to find you.
I have several private trackers listed on My List. These are open signup private trackers that are looking for a few good members. One piece of advise. Always use the most updated version of a client. BitComet, BitLord and BitSpirit and three banned clients. Azuerus and uTorrent are recommended.
Come join the fun but get rid of limewire FAST!

Enabling encryption does NOT make your IP any harder or easier to see whatsoever.
Please don't think that, and please don't spread that idea amongst newbies.
All encryption does is encrypt the headers of the conversation btw the clients and the tracker so that your ISP cannot intelligently throttle your bandwidth based on BT headers being present.
Your IP is now and has always been perfectly visible to anyone able to connect to the torrent. You can use a proxy, but it will greatly hurt your transfer speeds. The only real way around it is to either not download anything illegal, and/or to use software like peerguardian2 and make sure you have updated blocklists. My personal list blocks 64.5% of the internet, lol.
And, for the record as well, it's NOT the government trying to find you. That's not how litigation works. The companies who own the original copyrights simply pay other companies to run bots that find pirated software torrents for their copyrights, connect to them, and harvest IP's, and then traceroute/whois the IP's. Then they send a nasty letter to your ISP asking who you are. Normally, the ISP refuses to tell them, but then sends you a nasty letter and/or disconnects you. If the copyright holder chooses to sue/subpoena the ISP for who you actually are, then that's up to them.
Now, true, there are newly imposed intellectual copyright laws that carry a criminal sentence, but I still think that it'll be up to the copyright holder to find you and press charges, and then prove it, which is actually a lot harder than it sounds.
And, yes, private trackers are a little tiny bit safer, but not much. There are only a couple of them that use a blocklist, and I won't tell you which ones they are. Private trackers mostly just force you to keep a ratio, so downloads are FASTER and MORE RELIABLE than via Limewire or public torrent trackers.
So, anyway, I'll shaddup, but please do NOT THINK that enabling encryption in your client will in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER protect you from getting caught for what you're doing. I mean, I guess they sort of could, but it would require a separate key and encrypting on the fly for every piece of the torrent...talk about hard work for the seeders computer! Besides that, that would only work to make it harder for the copyright holder to prove what you had downloaded, but it would still be easy for them to prove that it was named "XSoftwareNumber1.torrent".

Depending on what your downloading torrents may be a waste of your time. What type of files will you mainly be download? What type of internet connection do you have? And please look at the site at the link i gave you when making your decision.

On most torrent sites I visit most music is basically all the songs from that album. so find your album and when you start the torrent with your client select only to downoad the song(s) you want.
