whenever i try to download something, it tries to connect then says it needs more sources, even though there are 100+ hosts in the search window. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx

There's a new kind of fake file around with huge amounts of sources (up to 100). Were you trying to download a new release or really popular file? These seem to be the worst, older & rarer files are usually ok. If you're looking for video, always look up the file before download with Bitzi
How to use Bitzi

The best thing to do is to ignore the files with more than 10 sources. Vary your search terms, try the All Types search & search at different times of day. As users in other time zones log on & off, new sources become available. This is a PITA but just the way it goes

thanks, i downloaded from a heading that had only about 6 sources and it worked.
