Default Not downloading

If I try to download a song on Limewire, it always says connecting, awaiting resources, need more sources, ect. I'm very confused, why aren't they downloading?

You might be 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
