Default SOME won't download

Mostly all the songs I want downloaded will download....however, there are a bunch that when I click on them, nothing happens. I tried fixing this with the 'licensing issue' posts, but it didn't help. Any other suggestions? It would GREATLY be appreciated.......all the songs I reallyyyy want I can't download =(

Are they sitting 'connecting' for ages & then going straight to 'need more sources'? If they are, you're probably trying to download fake files. Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources, I go for files with 10 sources or less.
Try searching again & varying your search terms... look for artist or album rather than song title. Also try the All Types search

Try downloading files with fewer sources 10 or less there are allot of fake files showing up recently.

Thats twice in 2 days birdy. I am going to have to practice more.
