Connecting....
 

I have used Limewire for several years successfully, and suddenly I am having a problem. When I try to download anything, it says connecting in the status bar, then after around 2-3 minutes, goes to "Needs more sources." This is if I download ANYTHING. No idea what went wrong so suddenly. Thank you!

Generally when you see the need more sources like that it means their fake files..

But try this and see if helps...;)

Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...

I have checked out the whole fake file lot, but this applies to everything! Even checking things with Bitzi isn't helping. What do you mean by a "tick" next to it?

Those options should have a little tick next to them, click on them if they haven't...

oh lol...well I have the connections menu up, I see three hosts, says some stuff..still can't download anything -.-...any other tips?

Did you remove them and let LW look for new Ultrapeers...

Yeah I've done that several times. Everytime I get 3 new ultrapeers. Try the search and download bit again, and get the whole connecting need new sources thing.

Well they must be fake files or no hosts available...
Try downloading from 10 or less hosts and see how you go...

I have actually tried downloading just about every file I can find, if you can believe it. I do it by threes, they don't work, move up the list, from 0 hosts to 100 hosts, none of them work. I even felt like trying to see if having 3 connections with LW Pro would help. No dice.

Hmmm, it sounds like you are connecting to Ultrapeers that are giving you only these fake results...

Disconnect LW for a while and see if you can get a new range of Ultrapeers...

Do any of the IPs look like this..
