Sounds like a fake file. There are lots around at the moment, many with up to 100 sources. Whenever you're looking for a movie, check it out with Bitzi before download
How to use Bitzi

Just kill the download & start a new search. Try varying your search terms a little & use the All Types search, try to download a file that has less than 10 sources.
