Search OK but can no longer download About a fortnight ago I was using Limewire without any problems whatsoever. However, when I attempted to download a file in the last few days, I can search without problem but when I attempt to download the file gives the message:
Connecting...
then:
Need more sources
Then nothing.
This problem suddenly occurred on both my Powerbook and my G4 and I have changed the preferences on neither of them. It is the same using both my router at home and at my friend's house using a USB modem - both previously worked fine.
I have taken on board postings about fake files and tried downloading files with less than 10 sources but without any success.
I have disabled all firewalls - even though Limewire shows that there is not a firewall problem.
My suspiscion is that as my ISP (Orange - formerly Wanadoo and Freeserve) is the only common factor between my connection at home and at my friend's house, perhaps they are blocking Limewire/Gnutella traffic.
Any ideas? |
