Need more sources
 

Hi i was downloading movies well with lw untill i tried to download a couple of movies and it kept saying "connecting" then "need more sources" although there r about 100 or more sources for each file. anyway, i tried downloading other things and it downloaded well, but the movies still cant work. And also, wats a good programme can u preview avi files with?

Stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources, they're probably fakes. Go for a file with 10 sources or less. Check out a movie before download with Bitzi
How to use Bitzi

VLC is a good player, it has codecs built in & will play most things. To preview with it (if you use Windows), you'll just have to open your incomplete folder from outside of LW. There's a link for download below

Newer files, especially movie files are mostly spam/fake. Try looking them up with Bitzi before you d/l them. See: How to use Bitzi Web Lookup.

There's a lot of spam being spread on the network. Try d/ling files with 10 sources or less.
