Hi, I just downloaded LimeWire basic on my laptop. It's connected to the internet through my dorm network. I read that this could be a problem. However, when I first installed the program I was able to download several songs immediately with no problems. Then, all my downloads started coming up as "Need More Sources" after a short while. So, I restarted the computer and then was able to download a few more songs until the problem started again. Now, almost every single file I try to download has this problem. I just figured out that I can download some popular files. Yet, I still can't seem to download files with less than 30 hosts at all. I tried the advice from the sticky on maximizing download potential. Is there any possible solutions to this problem? If I buy pro will this problem still exist? LimeWire isn't going to be very useful to me if I can only download very popular files.

I figured out that 90% of the time I have this problem, that there is usually 7 hosts listed next to the top of the search list. If the song I'm trying to download has the highest # being 7 then I usually can't download it no matter what I try. I don't usually have problems with songs that have the highest # as more or less than 7. I'm really getting frustrated with it because I just can't download certain songs period. If anyone has any ideas for how to rectify this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Keep in mind it's also best to choose those that show 4 stars. That means a higher chance of connecting with them. Also, right-click the top column of your search results window & a drop down window will appear. Choose to show Vendor. You'll have a better chance of downlds if you find ones with Limewire or FrostWire.
LIME=LimeWire. FROST= Frostwire. RAZA=Shareaza (these are usually difficult to connect to.) BEAR=BearShare (these have mixed results.) FOX=Phex. GNUC=Gnucleus (these are unreliable to connect to.) MORPH=Morhpeus (generally good to connect to but can have mixed results.) There's many more but these are the main ones you'll see.
