I have a similar problem, my Limewire was working fine last week, but since then I have been unable to download anything. I get the Connecting(x hosts tried...) then 'Need more sources' thing and I don't believe this thing about fake files either because I tried downloading the same file as I succesfully did last week and even that is doing the same now. It doesn't seem to matter if the file has only 1 or many hosts providing it, this happens all the same. I can upload files still, so people have been getting files from me, but I am unable to download I did manage to download 1 file earlier today at a good speed, but then again after that, nothing My connection is fine and I am not at my download limit. However I have noticed that brick wall in front of the globe which wasn't there last week ... BUT I have made no changes to my system since last week and my Firewall is set with Limewire as an exception and even if I turn off my Firewall, I still have that brick wall there! Crazy!! This is quite frustrating!!

Details on my system as requested/suggested on forum webpage ...

1. Windows XP Media Centre Edition
2. Windows Firewall
3. 2GB RAM
4. 279GB free space on Hard disk
5. 8MB Broadband
6. Wanadoo Livebox, Inventel USB 2.0 Wireless modem (802.11G)
7. Home
8. LimeWire 4.14.6, Java 1.6.0_02
9. Orange (formally Wanadoo)
10. I do get the message "Your test worked"
11. Internet connection is shared with 1 other PC (wired into box) and 1 laptop (wireless)
12. This is a new problem, I've used LimeWire for some time
13. Yes, there is a brick wall there now, didn't use to be last week! But as I said above, it doesn't disappear even when I turn off my Firewall :S
14. Not sure if this is relevant, I've always just used LimeWire and never set anything up, I think it must be working on UPnP.
15. I use AVG Free on this PC, but on laptop which has the same problem, I use F-Secure
16. I live in GB or UK - whatever you like to call it! (England)

Hope you can help ...
