Default need more sources

don't have a problem downloading anything apart from one particular audio file. There are lots of search results (240) but allways states "need more sources"

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

If they need more sources, then search again or browse them. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

I have the same problem but have found that if you try downloading the same files later at nite, you don't have as much trouble. I also click the song that I want from 3 different sources, (T3, cable, modem for example) and start the download will all 3 which ever one comes up with the download first, is the one I use. I know this isn't a way to solve the problem just a little hint on what I found to work. Some things that I don't have sources for during the day, if I do the download at night right before going to bed and allowing it to run all night then I usually get it downloaded.

Sorry couldn't be more help.

Thanks for your input, ran test which was 'true'. I have searched many times but each time the same. Can it be a file specific problem? Because I am not having any trouble with other audio files.

There may be some dud files set up. Probably by groups such as Overpeers. Google overpeer to understand who these types of organisations are.

Check the source of the file. Is it being offered by Limewire users or Raza or another. You can find out by right-clicking the top of the columns of the search results & choosing to show Vendor. This will show what program they are using. Raza=Shareaza. Shareaza users are often difficult to connect to because they also connect to other networks & leave little if any bandwidth left over for people to access their files on the gnutella network.
