LOTS of sources but still will not download I'm having this problem ALOT lately, and i need it fixed asap. Here it is: I have a static ip setup and the proper ports forwarded to my computer for Frostwire. I will search a movie, and i will get alot of sources so i double click and soon i get "connecting(X host tried)" (where x is any given number that increases) and then it switches to "need more sources" so i click find sources. it says connecting for a while, then says, "waiting 300s for sources" you know what i mean. then it goes to "awaiting sources" which i know is crap cuz there's like 94 sources as it says in the search. any help would be great. no matter how many times i click resume it does nothing. |
There are fake files all over the network. They'll sit connecting for ages, then get stuck needing sources forever. 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 (just because a file has heaps of sources, doesn't mean that they're genuine sources:giggle:). Music doesn't get rated as much with Bitzi. It's worth avoiding the files with huge numbers of sources...go for a file with around 10 sources. There's a lot more info & tips in these 2 threads, including info about using Bitzi. The threads are referring to LW but still apply to FW. Fake files showing up in search results How to find music |
