Unhappy Doesn't work like before

Whats up everybody. I was downloading a couple songs last night, and I tried today but all the songs I try to download it gives me "needs more sources", even though a lot of people are sharing that file. Any suggestions? thanks.

The sources might not have upload slots free for you to use. Try a new search. Use the All Types search or search just for artist or album rather than song title. That should pull up some different results. Try to download from 4 star sources, that gives you more chance of success

Need more sources

Have you been able to download anything at all since you started having probs?

Try downloading a file from here
http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

Do you get better speeds? What's your connection like (poor, fair, excellent etc)? Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue earth)?
Who is your ISP?

Did you have reasonable speeds when you were downloading the magnet link?

What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

Do this port test & see what result you get http://www3.limewire.com:6346

Do you see the firewall icon in LW?
