There are lots of fake files on the network. They'll sit connecting for ages & then always need more sources. Check out the threads below for more info & tips. Check files before download with Bitzi

You might need codecs for your player. The thread below has links to codec packs (XP codec pack is popular & so is K-Lite codec pack).
CODECs list for Movies/Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

That thread also has a link to VLC player. It's free, has codecs installed & is very reliable

And here's a link for Vista codecs, just in case you're using Vista.
Vista Codec Package v4.4.8 (freeware)
