Default Need More Sources is a killer

I have Windows XP and I've downloaded the newest version of Limewire and I keep on getting Need More Sources. I'm able to download some movies but there is this tv show called ***** that i really want to download and it absolutely refuses to work. When I first started using Limewire everything worked and i had no problem but now i can't download most movies that i want to download neither can i download *****. I've tried everything. When I click on Find more sources all it does is the countdown and then it either says Awaiting Sources or Need More Sources. I've also tried deleting the preferences folder and NOTHING WORKS!! Can someone please, please help me??

There are heaps of fake files around. They'll sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Try the tips in these threads & remember to always check a video file with Bitzi (music doesn't get rated as often) before download

Fake files showing up in search results
How to find music (also has info that applies to video)

I tried it but what if it says "sorry Bitzi doesn't have information on that Bitprint". What do i do then? Do i have to download Bitcollider or something?

mickjapa108 has a spectacular aura about

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The record company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

Peace.
