Default Need More sources

All bickering aside guys... there was a good question asked, I have the same problem. I keep getting "Need More Sources" for EVERYTHING. No matter what I try to download... images, music etc etc. Really a pain in the but... kinda mad I paid 20 bucks if its all for not! Please Help. Oh, my internet connection is thru a satelite, so that may be the problem... something to do with Proxies maybe? If anyone could help, would be much apprciated.

Default I Have The Same PROBLEM!!!! Please HELP!

Please to who ever reads this post reply, I'm desperate.
I also feel kind of mad that I paid for a program to not be able to download what ever I like. I keep getting ....."Need More Sources". I don't understand. I have a fast connection but still I cant download anything. I unblocked the program so that the firewall wouldn't interfere and more than that I added to my internet connection the specifications Gnutella gives in the comunications problems page. It's very frustrating. Any help from anyone will be deeply apreciated.

A. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

B. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

B. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

If it doesn't solve your problems, particularly if you got a "false" bug report then please answer the following:

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.
