Need help with downloading video
 
I have been having a problem when searching for videos. I will get good results for my search, but most of the item will not download. When I right click on the file I want to download, it will not let me "browse host". I have found that I can only download videos that I can browse host. Am I doing something wrong?

Do files sit connecting for ages, then get stuck needing sources forever? If so, you're probably seeing fake files. Always check movie files with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake. Music doesn't get rated as much with Bitzi.
It's worth avoiding the files with huge numbers of sources...go for a file with around 10 sources.
There's a lot more info & tips in these 2 threads, including info about using Bitzi.

Browse Host isn't always reliable...it's pretty hit & miss actually (one minute can't browse a host, next minute can).
