For the last week, no matter what song I try to download, I get the "need more sources" message! I'm about to pull my hair out...can someone help me? Thanks!

That's the same thing I came here to find out about. It'll list as having 40 sources, then says need more sources.

Do you have a brick wall in front of the globe.

Who is your ISP, are you using a router if so what make and model

my ISP is SBC Global...no router

The good news is I cant find anything about your ISP blocking or shaping. The bad news is that when this happens suddenly Eg: you were able to connect and download before it usually means your ISP has started blocking or shaping. But neither of you have really said if this is the case or not.

I guess I am going to need a little more Info.

Can you give us a total description 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? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* 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. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.
