It means that LW can't find any sources (hosts to download from) for the file at the time. You can right click on the file within search results > search more > get more results. Or start a whole new search for the file...that can sometimes kickstart a download. Or click on the result in the download pane & click 'find sources'.

If you're seeing files that sit connecting for ages & then need more sources without ever connecting, they're probably fake files. Always check movie files 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
