More Sources needed.

Hello, I'm quite new to Limewire and I've recently just got Limewire pro. I have downloaded about 20 music files and several films but now when I do a search and go to download it merely says "Connecting" for a few seconds and then "More sources needed" I have read up what was said earlier in the forums but I don't really understand what I can do about it?

I'm on XP Pro and I do have a firewall and wireless Broadband connection with Orange but that didn't seem to affect me before. Please help!

See this thread: More Sources Needed (click on link). Hey that's a coincidence, it has the same thread name as this one.

Hmm yes thankyou. As I said I had read up on earlier threads and I have tried all of the suggestions however I cannot get a download at all.

Keep trying. Try varying your search. Change the search terms. User part of the title or artist or video, etc.

Also, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? If you do, this 'might' be a part of your problem. A brick wall represents a firewall problem.

Thankyou. I shall try that.

I do have a Brick wall infront of the globe on the Limewire interface but my firewall says that Limewire is allowed?

Hey guys same thing is happening to me,I use to be able to download just fine but now,I'm getting the same problem,I can download some songs,but most I can't,even when there's a crazy amount of people who have it.I kinda noticed that these songs are pretty popular songs,mostly songs on i-tunes(if that has anything to do with it).So purp's got a point.

The firewall detected then is probably your high speed modem/router. You need to either set it to be enabled for UPnP or else, forward a port. See sections 2 & 3 here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link) Yes this only happens with copyright material & particularly reasonably new material. So if you search that type of material, then keep in the points made already. Such target files will be spammed by groups like (1) Overpeers, (2) MediaSentry,
(3) Mediadefender. So you need to find those that are not spammed fake files.
