Default need more sources message...

i have basic LW as i am just trying it at the moment and if i like it i will sign up for the PRO.

I have tried to download some songs and i come up with a message saying need more sources. What doesn this mean?

and also what do the other types of speed mean and can i also download these files?
I have DSL so i was wondering what do T1, T2 and higher mean?

could the reason that i cant download those files is because i have basic LW? how much is it in British Pounds to buy LW PRO?

Thank you in advance.

also can someone tell me what all those different files mean?
wma,wmv, avi, ram, mpg (i know mp3!!)

thanx

Greetings tinamaan

In LW under search you will see quality. Next to that you see this #. The higher the number under # the better chances of a succesful d/l. This shows how many different hosts are sharing this file. If the number is low or there is none at all, and that host goes offline then you will receive the need more sources or awaiting sources message.

The connections speeds that you are talking about are the speeds of the host(s) sharing the file. You can download from any of these. It doesn't matter what your connection speed is.

Your version shouldn't make a difference basic or pro. There are only slight differences between the two. Give basic a try and later on you go pro if you like. I don't know the conversion rate either. One of the other members may know.

You can go to this link. http://filext.com/ to find out about file types.
