Default connecting

Hey everyone, I have a problem with my connection. I have no problem when it comes to getting all my bars full near the globe on the bottom of limewire, but when I try to connect to the file it will say "connecting" and then it wont be able to. I have seen the faqs and tried to play around with my security settings but nothing is working. Oh ya an this only happens when I am trying to downoad a video clip or movie abut not with music. Thank you fro all the help

Sounds like you might be seeing fake files. These will show 'connecting' for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever.

If you're searching for video files, always chech the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi
