Default strange:many hosts, but "need more sources"

I've been using Limewire with great success for over a year now. Vista, wireless DSL connection, no firewall issues, everything normally works perfect.

But last night, I ran a search for a particular song and found a huge (60+)number of returns with many hosts available...(each ranging from 2-64 hosts). These were lightning fast returns with normal file sizes also.

The trouble began when I tried to download ANY of these returns. Limewire dutifully tried each and every host before saying "Need more sources".

Where it REALLY becomes interesting is that trying other songs by the same artist most have no problems downloading at all. I can only surmise that Limewire is working properly for most songs, just not this one in particular.

In addition, the information box that usually appears when moving the cursor over a title is absent in every case.

Anyone with an insight on this problem? If these are all fake files I would like to know how to search for the real thing.
