Frustration Don't you just LOVE it when a file you've been waiting for for a long time flashes "connecting" then, within a millisecond, switches back to the inimtable "need more sources"? What a hashed up system:mad: |
-How many stars do those files have? -How many sources do those files have? -Do you have a Firewall up? |

A configured Firewall can allow one to dld a file from a host that is not firewalled (low speeds can be witnessed though). On the other hand, if one has a firewall and tries to dld from someone with a firewall, then problems (such as "Need more Sources") may occur. Do you get "Need more Sources" with many dlds? If not, then it can be explained simply by the fact that you never know when the host that you try to dld from may go offline. You might just be a bit unlucky and click that Download button right when the other party hoes offline. |
I get screen fulls of "need more scources" to the point that I thinkthat's all this P2P set up knows. That and "Awaiting sources" amd I by GOD will not play slot lotto and hope to catch a source doring a millisecond break in transmission - I expect the program to do that. |
Whenever I get the occasional "Need more Sources" status, all I do is doing a search for the filename of the downloading file and clicking "Find more Sources", hoping that the search will come across some new sources (since I type in the name of the dlding file, I have more chances of getting more specific files and/or closer matches to the file I am already trying to dld). |

This just goes to show you how Limewire, heck just about any program in the world, can have very very varying performances depending on configurations. Anyhoo, looks like you're in for a little reading (if you haven't already done that. The following threads are for increasing dld success (for the first one) and dld speeds (for the second): - http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=17321 - http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036 I think that Lord of the Rings has already pointed you to these stickies, but oh well... |
