Weeping Brook is flying high
Default Every song "needs more sources"

I downloaded Limewire a couple days ago, and the first time I used it it was fine. When I tried using it again later, every song I tried to download came up with "Need More Sources". So I uninstalled it & installed it again, and it worked fine. Now I just used it & again it comes up with need more sources. Help!

I did try deleting the .limewire folder, but couldn't find the Doc & Settings/Me/limewire folder even with "show hidden files" on. Didn't work.

Probably spam. How many sources does it have before it goes to needs more sources. If none maybe it's real. But if it does that all the time 9/10 it is spam.

What firewall do you have? And at the bottom of Limewire is there a world with a brick wall or does it show a world without a brick wall?

Check the sticky below for lots of firewall advice
Connection problems? Check here first!

Start off by making sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured properly for LW.

If you need more help, post back with the answers to the questions in post #2 of that sticky
