Are they connecting for ages but then going straight to 'need more sources'? Those ones are probably fake files. Always check a video file before download with Bitzi (click on link for more info)
How to use Bitzi

Stay away from files with huge numbers of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less & try files with a modem source:wink:

Things aren't as simple as they used to be, since these fake files started appearing. It's still possible to download from multiple hosts but you have to make sure to check video files with Bitzi first.
Older & less popular files (video & music) aren't as liable to have the fakes problem. That's not to say that you won't find fakes in amongst older files but the problem's not as widespread as it is with new releases & really popular files. If that sounds confusing...sorry!!

Not many music files are Bitzi rated, which makes it harder for the user to spot fakes. For music, don't search for artist & song title together as that's way more likely to bring up spam. Search for artist or album rather than song title & if your search brings up thousands of files be wary. Stick to files with low numbers of sources as I said before.

There's some more info in the post below:wink:
