Problem when downloading
 
ok, I'll type in a search and I'll get a ton of results.
But when I go to download them, I'll bring up a progress bar..
but nothing will ever happen.. and there are like.. 120 results on the page that all do that.. they never seem to start to download.. like there spam.. or not really there... or something like that..
can anyone tell me why ? or how I can get rid of the junk from my searches?
or.. if there not junk.. why I'm not connecting to them ?

last thing.. I've found that if I narrow the search to almost the exact text of what i am looking for, I can find a download that works.
example..
******** of the ******
instead of just ************
or ************
when I want a broad search most of the time, so i can chose from alot of items on the search I did.
can anyone help me out?

If things are sitting connecting for ages then showing need more sources, chances are the files are fake. Try downloading a file with fewer sources (say around 10) & see if things are any better. Check the sticky below for more info about these;)
Fake files showing up in search results

If you're looking for movies, make sure to use Bitzi before download (you'll find a link for Bitzi in that sticky).

If you're looking for music, try the info below
