Video's not downloading?
 
Hey, guys, I have a little problem...

OS: Win XP Home SP2
Firewall: Sygate Personal....I have turned this off to no affect.
Anti-Virus: AntiVir...Doesn't do anything to Limewire when turned off...
Ram: 512MB
HD Space Left: 60+ GB
Connection Type: Cable
Limewire Version: 4.12.6 Basic
Limewire Experience: I'm not new to this, been using it for over a year.

Ok, everything downloads properly except for ANY video's...None will download at all. It sits at the "Connecting" thing, it never goes to "Downloading." After saying Downloading for a couple minutes, it goes to "Need More Sources"...And it does that for EVERY thing in the Video section..No matter what I search for. What could be the problem?

Sounds like 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.
Always check a video file before download with Bitzi. Files with heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating are often fakes.

Wow....I never would have thought it could have been a fake file...I just tried downloading a file with not so many sources and it worked...Who woulda thought the fix would have been so simple...Thank you!!!

Seems like there are A LOT of these now..I don't remember this being a problem a few months ago...
