What you're seeing might be fake files, there are lots around. They'll sit 'connecting' for ages before going straight to 'need more sources'. Typically, these are new releases (though not always) with large numbers of sources (up to 100). Try varying your search terms... look for artist or album rather than song title. Also try the All Types search. Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources, I go for files with 10 sources or less
Thanx for that mate.


But what causes fake files to go onto Limewire? You say typically these are new releases, but surely even if its a new release from someone if they are online it should download am I right?

There seem to be too many files that won't download to be all new releases if you see what I mean?

Can you please explain this a bit more to me, sorry for seeming thick.
