Default None of My Downloads are working!!!!

I am trying to download some songs off of someones cd, and everytime i click on one of the songs to download, it says i need more sources....(I dont really know what that means) so i right click on it and clicked find more sources. Sometimes this works an sometimes it does. If it does work and the song begins downloading, once its done it says its corrupted. I dont know what to do. I have only been able to successfully download 5 out of the 16 songs on this persons album. Please help me Thanks

Sounds like you are selecting songs to download that only one person has. You will have better results if you DL files that have multiple sources. The more the better your chances of completing it. As far as them being corrupted, they may or may not be. If they are music files the odds of them being viruses are slim to none. You can scan them then play them and see if they are ok or not.

Sometimes it's better to just start a new search. The old source(s) might have logged off. Try using the All Types search, rather than Audio - this can give you really different results. Vary your search terms too, try searching for artist name or album, rather than song title. Try to download from multiple hosts & go for the 4 or 3 star results

You can preview the songs while you're downloading. That way, you'll get an idea of quality. If one host seems to have a few corrupt files... stay away from them & choose another host.
