Default Some Questions (how to download movies)

First, I attempted to download a file and there were not enough sources so I cancelled it. But now everytime I open Limewire it comes back and still says needs more sources, why does it keep coming back into the downloads window?

Second, how do you find good movie downloads? I found some but it's become impossible to find others. Theres hundreds of hits and each has at least 20 sources yet they all come up as need more sources.

Thanks in advance.

If your trying to download a new title the files you see with a kazillion resources are fake, especially if it says DVD, XVID or anything besides CAM,
which can be fake also. New titles, (with rare exceptions), haven't been released on DVD yet, duhhh. So avoid them. If you do get one to download it will probably be another title, which you might like, or not, anyway.

Always check a movie with Bitzi before download. If other users have rated the file, you'll get an idea of it's quality & content (can help you avoid those misnamed files). If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake. There's a link to Bitzi info in this thread.

ZookPS3, if you can't delete that file from your incompletes within LW's library, open your incomplete folder outside of LW & delete from there. Go to LW's library, click on Incompletes & then click Explore...your ilncomplete folder will open for you & you can try deleting from there
