My downloads just stopped...

[Macros0001]

I've had Limewire for a very long time...never had any issues with it before. But now, all the sudden...BAM...it won't let me download anything. I start downloading the file, and it goes down into the DL box, and says "Connecting...", but it never does. Then it gives me a "Need more sources" even if there are over 80 sources shown up in the seach results box. I changed NOTHING on my computer, it just quit working.

It's so bizarre, HELP PLZ!

Thanks.

Ok wow, so after 3 or 4 days of it not working, it just started to 2 minutes after I posted here. What the heck, oh well....thanks anyway!

Those ones that sit connecting forever & then need more sources are usually fake files. I guess your LW finally found a real source:wink:

If it happens again, start a new search. Vary your search terms (look for artist, album, actor's name etc). Try the All types search. Stay away from files with heaps of sources. Go for files with 10 sources or less, or those with a modem source.

For movie files, always use Bitzi to check a file before download

For music, check out the tips below
