aprilkay69 & night_sky,

You should both read post #4 of this thread. LOTR has posted links to help when seeing fake files

If every file that you try to download does the connecting/need more sources thing (do a test...try to download an old song with less than 10 sources or with a modem source), try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
