There are lots of fake files on the network now. These will sit connecting for ages & then go straight to need more sources...does that sound like your problem?

Search again. Vary your search terms (eg for music, search for artist/album & for movies try lead actor's name). Try the All Types search. Stay away from files with heaps of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less, or those with a modem source.

Always check a movie before download with Bitzi. A file with heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating is often fake
