I reformatted my computer and decided to get myself the proversion of Limewire since I had the basic before and I had no problems before I reformatted, but now I can't download any songs and it always says "Need More Sources". But when I go to the connections tab, all the Status are "Outgoing" and no incoming, which I'm sure the problem is. I'm including a pic so you know what I mean.

I'm using "Use PNP" and the port is the same for azureus, 45209.

Sooo...Any suggestions? :)

Do the files sit connecting for ages before needing more sources? If so, sounds like fakes.
Fake files showing up in search results

You're not firewalled, which is good. Are you fully connected (how many green connection bars)?

Outgoing connections is fine!! Just means you're connected as a leaf, rather than an ultrapeer. Leafs only see outgoing connections to ultrapeers, if you're connected as an utlrapeer you'll see outgoing & incoming connections to both leafs & ultrapeers;)

I've tried many different files and ones that I know aren't fake. And I'm super charged, as it shows on the screenshot I do believe. So I dunno what else it can be. And yeah outgoing is fine, but I'm not going to get any files from just outgoing, lol.

I'm connected as a leaf right now (all outgoing connections to 5 UPs)...I can download just fine;)

Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 below
Fixes for LimeWire

Believe me, seeing only outgoing connections has absolutely nothing to do with being able/unable to download. If that were the case, no leaf would be able to download:D
