Default cann't download movies

Hello to all,

I've just downloaded Limewire basic on my Laptop and cann't download any movies. When I do a search I mainly get avi and not mpg or mpeg files. If I try to download the AVI files it just says awaiting, or needs more sources and nothing happens for hours. But if I try to download music it starts right away.

It cann't be the firewall since it's allowing music to be downloaded and obviously I'm connected for the same reason. If anyone has the answer please let me know. Also let me know why I'm only getting avi in my searches for movies.

Thanks in advance

It's a matter of fake files, it's not the AVIs as they are one of the best to download when it comes to movies...
This sticky will explain...
Fake files in search results

If you have the bitrate column on your search page up always look to make sure the file you want actually has a bitrate, a lot of the fake files (and spam) have no bitrate and anything below 128 is not worth trying for
