Problems with Videos

[Jetty]

G'Day,

I'm trying to download some videos from Limewire, but when i click to download the file says "connecting..." then goes to "needs more sources...". This only happens with video files, I can download songs with ease whenever i want, but when it comes to video...

Thanks, but I read all about that, and it seems to happen to every video I attempt to download. My mate who has limewire seems to have no trouble downloading any video he wants, but i struggle.

Are you trying to download videos with many sources? Search aXXo and try to download a video file.

Also just as a test, try d/loading a video from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml. Try the first episode of "The Scene". It'll open up in LW. If it says "Needs More Sources", right click the file and click "Find More Sources".

If it d/loads, then the files you've been trying to d/load were prolly fake and you should refer to the link that muhctekdano left in his post.

Another tip is to look up the files with Bitzi Web Lookup to see if they have been rated before downloading. Chances are pretty good that if noone has rated them that they are fake.

Hi Jetty,
I have the same problem, I can download music files with no problem but any and all video files will not download... even files I've downloaded previously and have deleted. There are plenty of sources but still not able to download... has anyone figured out what this is?
