movie troubles
 

when ever i try to download a movie, it will say "connecting" for a while, then "need more sources". the movies i pick have enough sources and i made sure its a reasonable file size for whatever I'm trying to download. also, I'm surprised that i cant find the freak out of the Mississippi braves baseball coach, its disappointing. can anyone help?

You're probably seeing fake files. These sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Check files with Bitzi before download, if the file has lots of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Read through these 2 threads below for more info (including how to use Bitzi) & tips.

thanks for the info, but when i try to download a movie, almost every result is not found in the bitzi rating....is this common and do i just have to keep looking or what should i do?

Usually if a file hasn't been rated in Bitzi it's probably a fake, especially for movies. Music files don't get rated much because of their relatively small size. There is an outside chance that the file is so new that noone has rated it yet, but that's unlikely.

You can try going to the Bitzi website and search for files there and use the magnet link to start the d/load in LW. Click the link that says "Magnet (Gnutella, Kazaa, Direct Connect, and others)". Then right click the file(in LW) and search for more sources. Sometimes you luck out and can find files that way. Try the tips in the links birdy left. Hope this helps.

What I don't understand is why people would put fake files up.

Well...there are organisations that don't support p2p:p
