I have been using Limewire for over a year now. I have not had this problem in the past and I am trying to figure it out. I looked up Audio: Chiodos (Music) / After that I went to download the song in connection speed DSL/Cable which is my download speed. When I do that a pop-up come up saying "Limewire is unable to find a liscense for this file. Download anyway? Please note: Limewire cannot monitor or control the content of Gnutella newtork. Please respect your local copyright laws. Then three options come up saying Yes , No , Cancel
After I attempt to download the song. It's saying "Need more sources". I've tried multiple times and the same incident keeps happening. I thought maybye because I didn't have Windows Media Player , it wouldn't work. I downloaded Windows Media Player and the same thing happened. I've been trying to figure this out for about 2 hours and cannot find the answer. I've searched on the FAQ and I did not find anything about this problem. As I've already said , I have not experienced any diffaculty downloading in the past. This is the first and I believe it is very minor. I just do not know how to fix it , so if anyone could help me , I'd really appreciate it. Thanks , David |

Perhaps (if it's a copyright title) you are coming across fake file results. It happens with both music & video files. See Recognising fake files
Choose those with just a few hosts. Modem users are safe to downld from. |

Try an experiment with an audio song from a magnet link: http://www.magnetmix.com/index.shtml
Tell us what happens. BTW I presume you have seen this!? License requirement (click on link) If you succeed with the magnet link then perhaps try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) |

May I ask what the problem was?
I'll be happy to lock the thread. But an answer to help others might be good. No matter how simple or trivial it seems. |

You were right about the # of people trying to download from the host. Modem and DSL works for me. You were correct , so thank you very much.
