Default Get many files which are ¨Awaiting for Sources¨...

Lately I got too many files which ended up with the ¨Awaiting for sources¨ legend.
How must I interpret this fact?.
Must I lean back on my chair and wait patiently confident that Limewire is in the serious task of finding the file to download it?
or
Must I consider it buried in the quiet and idle grounds of the cemetery and forget about it?
What must I do?
Thanks for your answer.

You're probably seeing fake files.

If you're searching for music files, use the All Types search & search for artist or album rather than song title. Go for a file with 10 sources or less...stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources.
If you're searching for video files, always chech the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi.
