Post Problem w/ "connecting"

Ok, here's the problem, yesterday i had to open port 443 for a website i was trying to make, and then last night i turned on limewire, searched for the "*******" , and got almost 7000 results, i'm not sure if this is the problem, but when i selected songs to download, they did nothing, they went from "connecting" to "needs more sources", usually i connect as soon as i choose to download them, and these refuse to do that. i have verizon 3mbps/768 internet, and it connects and works great, even thought limeiwre won't. I think it might have to do with port fowarding, or single static IP, but i'm not sure, any help is appreciated.-CL

Your post is a little bit confusing:

As for files with hundreds of hosts, those are faked files which you won't ever download. They are intentionally shared by those groups that do not like P2P networks.....

Try to choose files with some 10-20 hosts (or even less). You should also try and check those files with Bitzi:
