Odd Connection Problems... Running XP-SP2 DSL H/W: RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC Limewire connects to the network. I have added ports, made firewall adjustments, and have no limitations on my downloads, (and no obstructive S/W) yet; it seems I have trouble with large files only. I can D/L smaller files, and decent size files, though things like movies & such, it seems to have a problem with. When I try to obtain such files, it merely hangs up on "Connecting..." ...any help would be appreciated. |
You're probably seeing fake files. Have a look through the 2 threads below for more info & tips (the second one has info that applies to movies too, not just music);) Always check a video file with Bitzi before download. Fake files showing up in search results How to find music |
Thank you. I will check it out. I rarely search for music, mostly just videos. The file will at least seem to have a good number of sources, even into the 100's. The search results look rather normal actually. different sources sharing the same file/size, etc. When attempting to D/L, the most often result is, after quite a while trying to connect, the result is "Need more sources" even with a high-end source count. |
Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources (unless the Bitzi ratings look ok)...they're very often fake. |
