There are a lot of fake files around now. Usually new releases & really popular files, mostly with a huge number of sources (up to 100). If a file sits there connecting forever, chances are that it's a fake. Try to find a file with less than 10 sources, maybe cable/dsl or modem connection. You can try using the All Types search rather than Audio & search for artist or album title... this might give you different sources. It's just a pain at the moment

If there were 90 to 100 results for that particular file then chances are it was a spammed fake! Look for those with around 10 or less sources (hosts) under the # column & with 3-4 stars which represents chances of connection.

Gads my typing must be getting slow ... birdy beat me to an answer. The early bird ...
