Cannot connect to hosts when downloading DVD movies??? I have LimeWire Pro. Everything on it worls fine accept for one thing. I can not connect to others if I try to download a large DVD movie. I can connect to others when downloading any other type of media includeing other movies. I just can not conect to hosts when trying to download a large DVD movie. Anyone know why this is? I have a 792 KB/ sec. Internet connection. |
First of all, could you please edit out the names of any copyrighted files you're trying to download (ie movie titles)? Thanks... it's against the forum rules;) Forum Rules There are lots of fake files around, in particular new releases & really popular files. These often have heaps of sources (up to 100) but will never, ever connect. Spam. Always look up a movie before download with Bitzi How to use Bitzi Stay away from files with large numbers of sources. Search again. Try the All Types search. Vary your search terms. Search at different times of day... as users in other times zones log on & off, new sources will become available:) |
There are a few more things to keep in mind. 1. A lot fewer people share movies the music 2. Probably just as many people are trying to download movies as they are music. (you do the math) Uploadslots available/people waiting in line 3. If you don't share movies yourself (I am not saying that you don't) there is a good chance that they kill their upload to you or even block your IP (worse case scenario) 4. All users are not on all the time. 5. DVD-movie (do you mean .vob file or DVDrip?) If it is .vob files youre after there is a very good chance that only 1 user is sharing this file + there go at least 3 1048 MB files to each movie + a smaller one (you should maybe try the chat and ask if you can direct connect) Hope this gives you some clue what you're up against :) |
