BS doesn't give me download video..

[The wolf]

title..
it find the files in the search window but when i'n try to download,it's in 'waiting' status,while music files are download perfectly
i don't know what's the reason,somebody?

There are two possible explanations.

You are trying to download from fake search results or
you are using BearShare 5.2 or 6.

Fake search results are usually uniformly populated with fictional LimeWire
sources with a noticeable randomness to their IP addresses and port numbers.
Click on the little plus sign on the file name to see details on the sources.
Look for files that have a better variety of servent types and check them with
Bitzi before you start downloading. Right-click on any file in BearShare and
the Bitzi ticket command is available.

If you have a crippled version of BearShare (5.2 and up) you can try the one
in this thread instead. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=53386

i'm using 5.1.0b25 version and i downloaded a lot of movies with this version before,are you sure it's the only way?

[AaronWalkhouse]

Do what I do to avoid the fakes.

You already have the best version of
BearShare so yes, that's the only way.

I am not able to dl music in BS as shows 'queued' and 1st red light on top r. side shows not connected? What gives??? Using BS 5.1.Ob 25

It could be your ISP blocking again or it could be something on your end.
Did it ever work before? Give enough information so we can start figuring it out.

Aaron, I used it about 3 weeks ago and was able to download fine. Except for the p2p songs. I was not able to get those at all.

Thanks for your help

[AaronWalkhouse]

Maybe you are trying to download fakes. Try searching for some other files and see if any work.

[hubbacaps1]

I wasn't even able to download the 'gold' ones that in the past I was able to get. The 'green' ones I had tried to down**** several weeks ago and could not get.

[AaronWalkhouse]

Ah, so you have the crippled version. Get the recommended version and try again.

Alltel is known to be blocking P2P, by the way, so you might have to try other forms of P2P.
