Default Sources aplenty BUT "Need more sources"

I just DON'T understand why on some files you find which have literally 100's of sources, you select it for download .. and download doesn't start .. and Limewire ends up saying "More sources needed" ..... CONSTANTLY ...

Examples:-
MMMMMM...... not allowed to name actual files apparently ... so have to edit and rephrase ...
Let's think .... Title of one example is the place name of the famous carnaval parade held every year in London ..... N******* H*** ... staring Hugh Grant ..... (is that allowed me wonders ) .... l .... tried for a couple of weeks ... leaving download selection in ... choosing again ... re-searching etc etc ... but some even though Limewire shows 100's of sources ... Limewire never find a source that downloads that particular file ...

It's not a local problem, because I can download others without problem ....

ANYONE ANY IDEA WHY .... just try the example I've given ... see if you have any joy ...

Firstly can you edit out the names of the files..It's against the forum rules to name copyright files....

Once you have done that I will answer your question...

Thanks for that...
Fake files that's the answer lol...No seriously it is a matter of fake files in your search results...Take a look at this thread it will explain more about it...
I strongly suggest using Bitzi...
Fake files in search results

So. if Bitzi says it cant find the file, or `bitprint`, then its no good, right?

Not necessarily...It could be a new file that no-one has tried out yet...Once you get used to file sizes and tags you will kind of get the hang of it...
I always check movie files for ratings but the TV series I don't and sometimes I'm the first to rate a file, but as I said it's because of the tag attached...

You can also preview a file to see if it's genuine or not whilst it is downloading, just wait until it's at least 10% downloaded...
