Though your anger might be somwhow understandable, do you really believe that you'll get any serious help here with such an attitude? Besides that this is the Gnutella Forums and NOT the Limewire LLC. forum.....:rolleyes:

You might have seen my edit in your post and I do not need to further point this out !!

As for your problem. It could have many reasons. Since you say that music files download just fine, we can assume that it is neither a connection problem coming from your machine, nor a corruption problem with the preference folder.
Could it be that you've (by accident) enabled the Content Filter (Go LW>Tools>Options>Filters>Content)?
To learn what this feature does, you can read here:
http://filtered.limewire.com/learnmo...tentFiltering/

Another reason could be that the host(s) that share your file require from the uploader to share a minimum of files and if you do not fulfil this criteria you might be blocked from downloading it.

Most common reasons for "Need Sources" are:
Hosts not online, Hosts have -renamed, -deleted, -moved the file(s)
The file(s) are faked hosted to discourage P2P users from downloading copyright protected files.

A wise friend of mine once said: Patience is a virtue,....with computers it's a necessity.
I personally have many files in my download window waiting for many days already to catch the host of that file.
Of course there is a faster way for you and me to get those files,......going to the shop and buy them !
So, you better learn to control your emotions when dealing with computers, or you choose my latter suggestion.......Cheers !!

lmao btw
 
so i am not allowed to get annoyed with a programme now without people taking offence?. however thank you foolofthehill for trying to help me, i do appreciate it, however only a hobo, you need to spend less time away from your pc, and more time with humans and emotions. for a start btw, the only reason most people are using limewire is to copyright, and if you dont know this already your not as pc clued up as you think. and to take a comment about an effin computer programme so to heart is really really sad. i was annoyed cos i was PAYING FOR THIS **** PROGRAMME, so ur smarmy, oh-so witty theory was shot out the water hobo, and im sure you'll all get annoyed with your machine from time to time, and i didnt offend anyone directly i was talking about limewire, a computer programme, c.o.m.p.u.t.e.r programme...am i gettin through to you at all??? also it seems im not the only person on these forums having problems with 'excellent' limewire.

and like i said, im not downloading new movies, im trying to download older ones (which ive already seen, so i dont need to go and buy it) and would like to be able to get them from limewire, bearshare, soulseek as most of the users of these programmes are doing. come on for god sake, the ratio of people acctually paying to use limewire, and the ones who arent, deffinately favours the latter. im going to try and get advice about this elsewhere, from human beings who know its okay to lose your patience with a pc, after all its just a pc and wont kill you in your sleep cos you shouted at it.

You're wrong my friend, it's not a computer who has to read your angry words, it's people like Only A Hobo and many others including me, who spend their spare time offering help to those with problems regarding the P2P Gnutella Network.
But you come here, disrespect our rules as well as us with your thoughtless outburst, using us as your emotional garbage and not realizing that you've come to the wrong place to complain.
So I guess I speak in the name of many of us when I say that I appreciate your idea to look for help somewhere else.
The last thing what we need here are ignorant, selfcentered people without any sense for socially correct behaviour, who lack the proper education from their parents; in simple words, people like you !! Cheers.

Jojo1984, When you downloaded Limewire you clicked a little option to say you would not use it to download copyrighted materials. It doesn't matter what other people use it for, that's irrelevant. YOU said you wouldn't. Just because other people may do it doesn't make it right or any more legal, if you paid for the software or not.
People do lose patience sometimes, but if you've lost your patience at your PC, that's no excuse to come on to these forums and whine / get annoyed at anyone that doesn't want to hear you whine like a spoilt child. Use a bit of common courtesy and you're bound to get more help to solve your problem.
