Default Can't download video

Hello,
I cannot download any video files (avi, mpg, mov etc.). I have to problem downloading mp3's and exe's, but no matter what video I try it always comes up with "Need more sources".

Can anyone help me? I'm using Windows XP pro with Limewire basic.
Thanks,
mle

You might be seeing fake files? These will sit connecting for a long time, then show 'need more sources'. Stay away from files with heaps of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less & those with a modem source.
Always check a video file with Bitzi before download. If the file's been rated, you'll see other users' opinions. Files with lots of sources but no Bitzi rating are often fakes
How to use Bitzi

Just be a bit wary of .mov files, see the thread below for more info:wink:
