Lightbulb Download Disaster!

Okay, so if you're like many fellow Limewire users you'll be hot on the tail of your favourite TV eps when they come online

However....

I've never been able to download a single episode of a certain ****** TV show. I get pleanty of results but when I begin the download the files never connect and I'm constantly on 0%.

I've been using Limewire for years to successfully get other shows and I continue to have success with these.

Can anybody help shed some light on this??? Has anybody been able to get this show through Limewire?

I've tried downloading on 3 seperate computers, both PC and Mac. I've even downloaded the latest Java update on the PC but it didn't change anything.

Input please...

They're fake files. See:

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

See this thread for tips on searching and downloading files. How to find music(and movies).

Check files with Bitzi Web Lookup before downloading. It'll help you sort out if it's a good file or not. While on the Bitzi site, search for the file there and use the magnet link to start the d/load in limewire. Then search for it again in LW to help it connect to some hosts.

Also preview the file when it gets to 10-15% to check that it's what the title says
