dmasonlimewire is flying high
Default So I sorta have a connection...

Okay, I've used Limewire for a while without any problems...in fact I was quite a fan. All of a sudden though, Im having probs downloading. I can search fine, which indicates that Im at least *connected*., right? When I try to dl a song though, it sits there with its status at "Connecting..." indefinitely. Eventually it sill say something about no sources, but Im encountering this with every song I DL.....any help is appreciated greatly, since Im too poor to start buying music before I try it

Are these files you're trying to download new releases? With heaps of sources (up to 100)? This is a new kind of fake file that's appeared only recently. Just search again. Stay away from the huge numbers of sources, go for a file with 10 sources or less. Even try a modem source, it will just take longer to download
It's a pain but just the way things are right now!

Ok thanks - I apologize, I shoulve looked around a bit more before, cuz after that post I found a diff thread where you addressed my issue. Unfortunately some of the songs Im searching for have a minimum of 50 sources , but I realize that nothing is perfect, so I'll just keep trying -- Thanks again
