Found over 7000 files but nothing downloads!?!
 
Good afternoon to you all.

I normally have no troubles downloading files with limewire, However I am currently attempting to dowload a certain popular 80s/90s cult TV programme (main star is Sam Beckett!:laugh_2:) with no success!

When I search for the programme it finds thousands of results (7945 to be exact) with each episode having anything from 20-99 sources. But when i click to download it *connecting* appears for ages then it says *needs more sources*.
So I do the search again, this time I get 5768 results. But still always says *need more sources* there are 99 bloody sources how many more does it need!:bangh:

Why does it do this please.
Any help is appreciated...:xeri_ok1ani:

They're fake files. See:

Fake files showing up in search results (Connecting for ages with many hosts & then Need More Sources when trying to download a file.)

See this thread for tips on searching and downloading files. How to find music(and movies).

Check files with Bitzi Web Lookup before downloading. It'll help you sort out if it's a good file or not. While on the Bitzi site, search for the file there and use the magnet link to launch the file in limewire. Then search for it again in LW. Sometimes that'll help you find the good files.
Also preview the file when it gets to 10-15% to check that it's what the title says
