Default Need more sources

I am new to lime wire. I was able to download some songs yesterday, but today I receive the message "need more sources". It tries again, but with the same result. Help any suggestions

Thanks

Try downloading files that have at least 2 hosts (the number under the # column). Trying to download a file with too few available sources exposes you to the risk of having said host disconnect while you are still dlding, hence the "Need more sources" status.

I have the same problem. Usually it happened only when the files had very few hosts, of course, and that would be normal... But the last days I get the Need more sources message in ALL the files I download, including files with 60, 80, or even more, hosts! THAT is not normal... I wish someone would tell what's going on!
