Limewire has worked fine up til now, and it connects fine. It says my connection to the network is very strong. However, if I try to download anything, it says "Connecting" and stays at 0% until it says Need more Sources, or Awaiting Sources. And this is for ANY download whatsoever.

right click on the file and choose bitzi lookup to verify its a good file
if it has no bitprint, then its fake

Thing is, I wanted to check if it was just that particular file, so I randomly did a search under "Techno" and downloaded something random, and had the same results. It's very, very strange.

Yeah i get the same exact thing, and NONE of the files are downloading, NONE OF THEM, i tried that thing with the right click and then click look up with bitzi and none of the files seemed to be real, now i know for a fact that ive been able all types of files before, but just starting today i can't, dunno if it has to do with the fact that i Re-imaged my disks, everything was done correctly so i don't think so, but if anyone else has ANY ideas please email me at **********
if it helps heres my comp's info OS= Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall/Anti-virus= Windows(Off) and Symatec Coorperate Addition HDD= 40GB with 32GB free space RAM= 1GB VRAM= 128MB(shared) ________________________________________ Edited to comply with the House Rules.

Maybe deleting the LW preference folder will have an effect. Read here on how to delete this folder (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire)
