Need More Sources??!!
 

Hi All,
I'm interested in downloading a popular movie, so I did a search for it and the results returned over 60 files. I selected a few and attemped to download them w/o success. My results always came back, "Need more sources". Nothing I did resulted in any successful connections whatsoever for this film. No to be denied, I searched for the film again, and this time there were even more files available (100+), and TONS of activity! So I downloaded ALL of them!! And guess what? I checked hours later and every single file said "Need more sources". How can that happen? How is it that a popular film, with hundreds of people trying to download it, all comes back with nothing?!

MANY MANY files on the network are fakes and useless. If you right click on a file in the Limewire search page ... and this applies mostly to video files .... and under advanced you will see Look up with Bitzi. This will open your browser and take you to the Bitzi site where there may be a review for the file quality so you will see which files are good and which bad. Of course many files are not listed. Listing requires contributions from you and me.

Going for a limewire file with more than about 20 hosts can be a mistake. You probably will be better off with a file with a low number.

I hope this helps :)

Thanks OAH! I tried it, and although it didn't work, I can use it next time!
