You might be trying to download fakes. There are lots around. These are usually new releases or really popular songs with heaps of sources (100+ sometimes) but won't ever connect. Vary your search terms - look for artist or album rather than song title. Try the All Types search. Go for a file with 10 sources or less!

Even if they're real sources, starting a new search is the way to go. Need more sources means that either the hosts have gone offline, aren't sharing that song any more or don't have any upload slots free for you.
*could you just edit out the artist name? We're not allowed to mention artists or titles because of copyright

What's your connection like (how many green bars)? Do searches come up as quickly as usual? Do you see the firewall icon (brick wall in front of the blue earth)?
