I have the standard version of Limewire, after running a search for audio files, then select to download the program says the track it is connecting to the host. The problem is it says it's connect for ages and then when it does it says more sources needed or waiting on busy hosts. This does this for the majority of my downloads from numerous hosts..........any ideas????

Sounds like you might be seeing fake files

If you're searching for music files, use the All Types search & search for artist or album rather than song title. Go for a file with 10 sources or less...stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources.
If you're searching for video files, always chech the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi
