Forever Awating Sources

[dysrexia70]

I have had Limewire for a long time now and have never had problems, but in the past few day when I search for a song I get no search results or if I do and try to download it I get "Awaiting Sources" and I can never get the song to download. I am not behind a firewall and I have a turbo-charged connection, and I have also tried to refresh my connections but doesn’t seem to help.

hope you can help

Just a quick one, have you checked the bitrate on the files your trying to d/load?? Also the file size?/ You will find a lot of threads on here all with the same problem d/loading, because, mainly, of all the fake files and spam about.
The bitrate should be over 128 (some like it higher) and try steering clear of T3 connections for now as a lot of spammers are using these, quite a few are carrying viruses

[dysrexia70]

the downloads mostly are T1 and all have a bitrate over 128 and sizes of the files are in the 7,000s.

And you have no wall showing by the blue globe?? What have you got checked in the licenses section?

[dysrexia70]

there is no wall showing by the blue globe, but I could not find where the Licenses section is.
