after clicking download on about 100 odd songs, its just frozen    

are theyre any tricks to make it work again or even to know the names of the songs that were queued up?

I hate limewire. It fucks up your computer, and it takes FOREVER to download the songs.

You just have to wait it out.

Well, delete some of the songs and let the others download for a while.

you either overloaded it or you got a virus, but i think you got a virus. but I might be wrong

Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

Queued songs should reappear upon reopening.

Dont use limewire you fool. It gives out your IP adress, slows down your computer and is just crap. Use Utorrent etc. If you have to download. But support your fav bands people £5-£12 Isn't that fucking much anyway.

Don't download so many at once.

LimeWire is rubbish - you probably have a virus, run a scan.

I love limewire.

Limewire is horrible.
BitComet is what you people should be using.

Limewire sucks, you just may have a virus. My brother used it once screwed his computer over good time.

Limewire is the reason most people have virus'. It always freezes on mine, The songs take ages to download, And atm no songs will download for me. Stupid thing!

Ctrl+Alt+Delete to unfreeze the program.  Then open it up again.

Don't try to download that many at a time.  Download them in shifts of 10 or 15 songs at a time.

And it is true you can get some viruses from Limewire.  So be careful when you are downloading.  Pay attention to the file size.  There are often times fakes that are the wrong size.  So for a song, look for between 2,000 and 4000 kb.  The fakes may be somewhere in the hundreds of kb's, and there's also some in the 2000's.  The fakes will also have a messed up file name title.  Real songs often have the artist, then a dash, then the song title.  Fakes will often be all lower letters, no dash, like a run-on.  Not always, but its a good rule of thumb.

It is possible to use Limewire/Frostwire without getting viruses.  Since I don't use it excessively, and I'm careful about which files I choose, I haven't gotten a virus from Frostwire.  

One tip would be, if you are only looking for a single song or two, go ahead find it on Frostwire.  If you want an entire album though, a safer (and faster) bet would be to use BitTorrent or Azureus, and get the files from such sites as btjunkie.org or piratebay.org.

Don't use limewire, use Azureus and ThePirateBay.org
