Every time i download a movie it says connecting for the longest time and like 10 minutes later it says need more sources. it was working last week but now it is not working. i can download songs no problem but when i download movies its says connecting for a long time. and sometimes i find a movie that works but downloads from 1 host and has 3 kb upload. can someone please tell whats wrong. i just got norton 2007 last week so that could be the problem but ive already configured that and still want work.

If you can d/load music then there shouldn't be anything blocking you from getting movies. Probably the files you've been trying to d/load are fakes. See Recognising Fake files.

Check files with Bitzi Web Lookup before downloading. It'll help you sort out if it's a good file or not. Also preview the file when it gets to 10% to check it's what the title says.

See this thread for tips on searching and downloading files. How to find music(same principles apply to movies).
