  [QUOTE]Originally posted by boo_hoooo  Quote:   | Originally posted by LeeWare [problem doesn't sound like a limewire problem as much as it is a problem with the sources you are trying to download from.  There are three possible causes for your problem.  Especially, if you are trying to download popular content . i.e. (usually infringing)#1 There are so many people trying to download from so few hosts. (supply/demand problem.)
 
 #2 Since the early days of P2P there have been companies that place hosts on the network which return results for popular content but are configured in a way so that you can't actually download the files.
 
 #4 Dynamic nature of the network.  Don't forget that hosts join and leave the network constantly.  Therefore, it is quite possible to perform a search, get results and by the time you go to download the files the hosts that returned the results has left the network i.e. more sources needed.
 
 
 So i't just a case of timing.   I am just happening to have problems at the same time I upgraded.  Is there a way to try and get better hook ups?  I am semi frusterated, because it feels like I can do the search's and those files come up while I am getting te notices for needing resources.  If I go to them and do a search of their computer it comes up and tells me what's in it, but I can't get anything to download from them at that time.  Does that make sense??  Am I beating a dead horse and there's actually nothing I am doing "wrong" persa here, I just have to develope a big case of patience....

 |  I won't deny that it could be a problem with LimeWire.  However, before we assume that can you confirm the version you are using and confirm the fact that you are unable to download anything.  
Or, is it a matter of not being able to download just (some) things.  
Please advise.
