How to Download TV Shows on Limewire
- 1). Click "All" from the menu near the top.
- 2). Select "Video" from the drop-down menu and type a search string in the box to the right. If the name of the show is short, type the full name, otherwise type the words that stand out the most. For example, "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" can be shortened to "8 Simple Rules."
- 3). Press "Enter." If the results are few, reduce the number of keywords used. If there are too many results, filter them by adding words to the search. Also, try spelling numbers out, such as in the example used in Step 2, try typing "Eight."
- 4). Click the "Size" tab to sort the results by size. A 30-minute episode is usually around 100 MB, and an hour would be around 300 MB. Anything less than that may contain viruses or spyware as they are usually very small in size.
- 5). Click "Extension" to sort the videos by file type. Double-click to download only if it is an .avi or mpg and meets the size requirements.
- 6). Right-click the file as it downloads and choose "Preview" to make sure the video matches the title. The files are sometimes mislabeled and contain video that is not what it purports to be. Locate the completed show by going to the following folder: "My Documents\LimeWire\Saved."
