Default Help Downloading Files

Each time I attempt to download a file, it just says connecting and then needs more sources. I've had limewire for a long time and its never done this to me before. I tried deleting the .limewire file and that didn't work either. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks.

that is a sign of a fake file many times....try downing files with fewer sources, and/or right click on the search result and choosing bitzi lookup

as a 'last ditch' effort, try uninstalling and reinstalling LW
