Can't download video
 

Hello,
I cannot download any video files (avi, mpg, mov etc.). I have to problem downloading mp3's and exe's, but no matter what video I try it always comes up with "Need more sources".

Can anyone help me? I'm using Windows XP pro with Limewire basic.
Thanks,
mle

I meant to say, I have NO problems downloading music files and executables.

You might be seeing fake files? These will sit connecting for a long time, then show 'need more sources'. Stay away from files with heaps of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less & those with a modem source.
Always check a video file with Bitzi before download. If the file's been rated, you'll see other users' opinions. Files with lots of sources but no Bitzi rating are often fakes

Just be a bit wary of .mov files, see the thread below for more info:wink:
