Do you mean that files get stuck connecting, then show need more sources but don't download? If that's what's happening, you're probably seeing fake files.Search again, vary your search terms, try the All Types search. Stay away from files with lots of sources, go for a file with 10 sources or less, or those with a modem source.

For movies, always check a file before download with Bitzi. A file with heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating is often a fake.
How to use Bitzi

For music, try the tips in this thread
How to find music

And for some general info about these fakes

*Just be careful when using p2p at work. A lot of employers don't like people using file sharing in the workplace. You should make sure that it's not against company policy:wink:
