Default Need more sources . . . is there anything I can do?

Hello all. There is a file that I DESPERATELY seek to download. When I search for it, I get quite a few returns; many with plenty of sources, yet when I try to download the file, I alwasy end up with the 'Need more sources' message '. Is there ANYTHING I can do?

Try to download one with 10 or fewer sources.

Trust me, I've tried, to no avail. Anything else that I should try?

Right click on each file and do a Bitzi search on the files until you find one that is good. Try to download that file then see what happens.

I have the same problem. I right clicked on the file to check with Bitzi and the answer was the file could not be found but when I entered the title of the movie for Bitzi to search I got answers which were among the results found by Limewire and still Limewire needed new sources and the download couldn't start. I checked with E-Donkey I get the files and I can download but it's usually slower than with Limewire Pro which I'd rather used. Does Limewire prevent some titles from being downloaded? Also there are requests for some TV series that elicit no reply at all when you dl a number of episodes from E-donkey: are they barred from downloading by Limewire?
