I cannot seem to get kazaa or limewire to work i download a song and it searches or says connecting?

I can try to help, but I have to ask something first.\n\nOK, I haven't had Kazaa in a while do to the problems they have been having since the court case against them, but I do have and use Limewire. \n\nDoes it say that it is searching AFTER you already downloaded the song? If it tells you this while attempting to download a song then.\n\n1)It cannot find someone who has the file ready for downloading. It bases results on who has the song, but not if they have their computer on.\n\nBasically, lets say I have Old Macdonald on my computer and I have limewire and willing to share it, it will tell you I have it, but if I have my computer off or modem, it will say searching.\n\n2) If it starts and stops it could be many things. If I have something wrong with my comp. and I keep getting booted off the net while you are downloading from me, then it will start and stop as I go on and off the net.\n\nGo here, this should answer your questions more clearly than I can.\n\nhttp://limewire.org/wiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions#dow6\n\nA possible reason for the problems with Kazaa is your friend may have an older version of it. The newer Kazaa has a lot more restrictions due to the trouble they got into. The older on doesn't have these resrictions. Don't take that as gospel though, it is just a guess.\n\nIf you have anymore questions about Limewire, I will try to help if I can. Their FAQ page will probably answer what you need.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS. The other posters are correct, there are many better choices than Kazaa and Limewire, especially Kazaa.

I would suggust re-installing limewire. From personal experience, I find its the best in relation to organization, speed, and lack of spyware/malware. Try to get it fixed. If you are deadset against limewire, go for Kazaa.\n\nedit: Of course, when you say download free music, you mean user created, non copywrighted works of art put out in the public domain. Thats what P2P is for, anyway.

sounds like the file is no longer available, probably because the computer (or computers) offering the file are no longer on the Kazaa network. How to fix? The only way is to wait around until the computer is on the network again.

have you tried limewire?

I like limewire the best.  I've got Rhapsody, iTunes, Napster, KaZaa Gold and Limewire all installed.  I've not used Rhapsody or Napster since they went totally free--so I'm not sure how they work.  iTunes is good for some music if you use an iPod.\n\nKaZaa Gold is tempermental at best.  It's a bear to log in sometimes.  Also the folks at KaZaa are continually 'upgrading' their software.  This sucks because in order to upgrade, YOU, the user, have to delete all your old KaZaa files first and then download the NEW version and reinstall it.  \n\nYeah right.  Like this process EVER works the first time.  I was right in the middle of a hung up installation of the NEW software and it just hit me that I probably lost all the songs in my KaZaa library.  I was able to finally restart my computer, get rid of the new 'improved' KaZaa and restore my old version.  That sucks---I don't like surprises like that.\n\nLimewire is probably the fastest and easiest of the 'free' ones that I've used.  It's practically idiot proof, and that's what I need.  Limewire has never given me any problems---but I don't leave it running all the time.  If you leave it running more and more people will start downloading songs from your computer and your internet connection will crawl to a standstill.  So I just fire it up, download what I want and then shut it down.\n\nSo--I would recommend Limewire for a free one.  You may want to check out Napster and Rhapsody since they're free now, they may be as good as Limewire.  I'd steer clear of KaZaa Gold.

Did you search in "kazaa"?

#1 You may have a firewall installed and its blocking the PORTS needed to search and return results...\n\n#2 The program you are using does not use the gnutella or gorilla or other same P2P networks that limewire, bearshare, morpheus, and kazaa all used, therefore probably no one has it and there are no files to even be found.\n\nForget about that program, download http://www.morpheus.com\n\nClick no to installing the toolbar when it asks.

Set up iTunes to automatically import all the songs that limewire downloads. I have an apple so I dont know if the menus are the same. Mine automatically gets my songs, so this should work. \n\nGo to your preferences. Select the tab that says "sharing". Select the box that says "look for shared music". That should do it.\n\nIf that doesnt work the only thing I can say is go to "file" select "add to library" and then find the file you want to add and select it.

first, you need to make sure that you have a good connection...depending on the limewire client you use, you should see some kind of indicator on the lower left side of the screen, indicating what you connection is, then next to it, you should see whether your firewalled or not.  if you have a good connection or better, and you are not firewalled, then the person(s) that you are tryin to download from might be :(   also, make sure that you are tryin to download a file that several people have, and ALWAYS use a virus scan to double check the file to make sure that it doesn't have a virus or some other type of malware.  If that doesn't help you, then be a lil more specific and I'll try to do a better job for ya :)
