Default Connecting ....

Hi,
Im Brad from Australia. I've used heaps of downloading programs, mostly Gnutella based. Limewire, Frostwire, Bearshare etc. But recently, Bearshare updated and I didn't like the new update, so I moved back to Limewire.

I noticed, when I downloaded files, It said " Connecting " and then after that it would say " Need More Sources ". I kinda' looked around, and the solutions to these problems were explained to complicatably. So I was wondering, why does it do this? Can you explain what to do to stop this? Thanks
