When you do a search and it shows 20 host that is the # of host that LimeWire found at the time of the search it does not necessarily mean they are available to DL from although the odds are pretty good there will be some host available. It sounds like to me you may have a configuration problem or a firewall issue but it is very hard to tell from your description of your problem.

Answer to your second question NO it is not another source if it was it would be grouped in the original source. It may be the same thing but just slightly different in some way therefore it is not the same.

If you supply a little more information it might help us to figure out your problem.
