Also lots of files I am trying to download appear as 'more sources needed' does this mean I cannot download that track at all then? Thanks

What it means is that it needs more people to be online with the file that you are trying to download.

Re-search for the file your after usually sorts it.

Here is all you need to know -

You are part of a netowrk when you use Limewire. You share files with others and they share with you. The more people who have part of a file will share with anyone who is missing even parts of thier files.

1. Leave your computer on all the time. Check Limewire and re-run your searches several times and then come back every hour or two to refresh those same searches. Do not close out your search when you are down. Leave the search window open until download is complete.

2. Try not to share bad files. Delete any virus or corrupt files as soon as possible. Use internet explorer and go to c:\program files\limewire\incomplete to delete corrupt data and old searches.

hope this helps our "little pirate" network. lol

Great - thanks for the info. As you can probably tell I'm new to this!!!!
