You're obviously using the LW beta. That's good, it shows it's not just trying to connect to one host but as many as possible. If there's a lot of sources ... like over 100 or even 1000 then most likely they are fake. Try getting into the hbit of using bitzi to check it's a valid file; How to use Bitzi Web Lookup
