They're probably fake files. See:

How to find music

Fake files showing up in search results (Connecting for ages with many hosts & then Need More Sources when trying to download a file.)

If your trying for mainstream movies, if they're legit files, they'll be rated on Bitzi. If not then they're probably fake. I don't think most music files get rated.

Something to try is right click the files and see if the option to "Browse Host" is available. If it is, try d/loading that file. I've had some success doing that.

Another thing is you might be connected to a bad ultrapeer. Try shutting LW down completely and restart it. You should connect to different UP's and get different files.
