first, you rely on others speed when downloading and not your own. Second, LW users can turn off and limit their bandwidth. Third, you can have up to a hundred sources but if the users arent online at the sametime you are it might say need more sources because these users just arent online at the sametime. Try a different way of searching to see what come up for sources? you can add more sources in your Limewire settings under options. or, for more info you can read Lord Of The Rings sticky notes in this forum for additional help.
