brick wall in front of earth
 

Everytime I try to download a song, it comes up with the message "Needs more Sources." I've been trying to figure out what the problem is, and everytime someone has a similar situation they're always asked if they have a brick wall in front of their Earth. Well, I do. I know Limewire can work behind a firewall, so I just need to figure out how to configure my settings. Help would be appreciated!

You really need to include more details about your system.
If not then every anwer will be a shot in the dark.

1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all?
Is there a brick wall in front of world ?

2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ?

3. What are your details

OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.)
LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see)
What Firewall you're using ?
Modem/router brand & model ?
ISP (Internet Service Provider) ?
Connection type ? (modem, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ?

Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ?

Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out

okay well i'm using a Windows XP with the newest version of Limewire, I just downloaded it today. As far as I know I just have the basic firewall up, with a couple of virus protecting softwares such as AVG and the one that Windows provides.

It's really important that you try to answer as many of those questions as possible

sorry my computer didn't upload your whole post-

yes, my green bars are full.
there is a brick wall in front of the world.
the test worked.
the firewall is just the basic windows one.
i am on a network at home, and i think the router could have something to do with why i can't download. i'd have to be told how to fix it though because i definitely have no idea.
we use a linksys wirelessG router (2.4 gHz)
this is my first time using limewire.

There is a very good chance then that you have just made a small mistake when installing and starting to download.

First of all. Did you by any chance choose to not download without a licence ?

That will render most downloads useless. If so go to

Tools>Options>View>Popups and check the revert to default box

Then press apply and ok

then go to Tools>Options>Searching>Basic and uncheck Show Licence Warning

Then go to Filters>Content and uncheck contentfiltering

Press apply and ok

Then have a look at this thread before trying to download anything

How to find music :)

If your Limewire still doesn't work right then post back in this same thread


Good Luck :)
