I have been a user of LW for some time now. Just recently I have been have trouble downloading. I can connect via 2 internet providers (Comcast Cable, or through Sprint via a cell phone modem). I try to download music that has 50+ hosts but always get "need more sources" for all. This happens no matter what artist or song I search. I was ready to purchase the Pro version but am now rethinking it. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!!
