Files sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever? If that's the case, 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 Fake files showing up in search results How to find music |
