Hi guys. I'm new here, so please excuse me if this question has been answered previously, but I doubt it.
I have used limewire for over...gosh, a good four years.
And in that time, never have I seen so many "Need More Sources".
Its getting to the point where I have to try really, really hard to find a real download.

I'm a computer tester, so I know what to do to try and single out the problem.
So, first of all, when I began to wonder, I attempted a wide variety of searches on things I new would come up with hits.
I searched for things like "80's music" and some of the more popular bands from that era.
Out of over 1000 hits, I tried downloading ten, just to get a range. Only one actually began to download, and it was moving very slowly at that. The rest were labeled simply as "Need More Sources".

I searched through Album and Artist names to see if it was bringing up all false hits. I found the exact same file I had downloaded a few months prior, tried downloading it again, and it says the same thing, "Need More Sources."

Recognizing that this could be due to peoples computers being off and a coincidence of time, I waited a few hours and tried the same steps again.
Still the same thing.

Nearly every hit I get is downloaded as "Need More Sources"

Is this a phenomena specific to me, or is there something more serious going on? Are we losing connections? What is going on?

No it's the spammers putting all the fake files onto the network...This link will explain more...
