Unhappy Exact same problem

I have the exact same problem as Calinginosty...I'm looking for the most popular songs out there right now and when I try to download them, it will say "Connecting..." for a while then it will come back as "Need More Sources" or "Awaiting Sources." All of these songs have over 90 hosts and they still aren't downloading! I've try to download them with a fewer number of hosts but, it's still not working! I've been trying for a week so, if anybody knows what's going on, please help!

Thanks
~Christmas07~

There are lots of fake files around just like you describe... new releases, heaps of sources, 'connecting' for ages but never downloading.

Search again. Vary your search terms, look for artist or album rather than song title. Try the All Types search, rather than Audio. Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources, I go for files with 10 sources or less With so many fakes around now, you'll just have to be patient & keep trying.

Could you please edit out the song titles & artist names in your post? These are copyrighted & so we're not allowed to mention downloading specific files Forum Rules. Thanks
