Question Need More Sources?!

I have the same problem, every time I get the same stupid message: NEED MORE SOURCES! Is there anyone who knows the reason for that?

Default try a different way

i noticed it happens to me when it's a **** or at the top of the list...
try to search the same subject at the bottom of the list or maybe one not so "perfect " (try a modem connection, it's much slower but there's no traffic)

the"find more sources" never worked for me. maybe i haven't be patient enough.

hope you'll make it

Thumbs down Need more sources/find more sources/awaiting sources!!!!!

This is the sequence I get.
Since I've updated to 3.5.8 Pro,I haven't got d/ls anymore.
Very frustrating to do a bad choice and decide to pay for a licence of a non workin' software.And when you ,naturally,complain about it,some software developer hurted in his ego tells you that is not possible that some people has so many problems with the app.beacause millions of other users dont have such.
Frustrating.

I agree!! It happens to me as well. Whenever I try to download anything in ANY file sharing application I get what I call the ' File Sharing Kiss of Death', also known as 'More Sources'. When you get the File Sharing Kiss of Death you are not going to get the file to download, no matter how many times you click 'find more sources for download' or 'resume'. It just doesn't happen. This happens for everything I try to download. Once I was trying to download 93 things and, one by one, they all got the File Sharing Kiss of Death. What do I do to get rid of the File Sharing Kiss of Death, or at least to make it happen MUCH less often? I've tried Kazaa, Morpheus, LimeWire, and AudioGalaxy, and they all do the same thing.

You don't get that problem with winmx. Less of a user base, but no "need more sources" messages.
