riddle me this batman....... (files need more sources)
 

here's my question. I'm using LW basic (tried to buy pro but had problems wit my card or somethin guess i'll try later), using basic and i search for a specific movie. My search results come up, i click on a few to make my odds of gettin better and it seems like 95% of the files i click on try to connect.... then it says need more sources i just can't figure out why it would even show up on the list if there is no available sources for the file...... am i doin somethin wrong or does this happen to everyone? bc i'll be damned if i'm gona pay 20$ just for it to tell me "need more sources"

You're probably seeing fake files (shared on the network to disrupt p2p). These sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Always check video 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.

How to find music (has tips for movies as well)

The LW Beta versions have torrent support, maybe you'll have more luck with torrents. The latest Beta's 4.13.8 & you can download it from the usual LW download page.

Don't buy Pro until you're happy with the way basic is working:D

i did more snooking around and realize this post is in the wrong forum neways, i apologize for that, and i did see this answered somewhere else after i read a bunch of older posts......... just some one needs to take charge and make a ignore list or a way to delete these bogus files just wastes peoples time

Those bogus files are put on the gnutella network by paid agents (of you know who). And just like you cannot delete files on my PC and I cannot delete files on yours, no one can delete these bogus files.

That is just the way it is.

Unless we start sharing infected files that RIAA agents want to download! Something like this:

Listofpeopleillegallysharing.exe
Idownloaded1000songsandtheRIAAcankissmyA**.rar
TheRIAAwillneverstopme.zip

What do you think? :tease:

Well Dano

If you want to p*ss them off then OK but remember they'll capture your IP as well.
