HELP! LW wont DL an entire song!

[Tubbynomore]

Hola mi amigos, yesterday I was downloading happily when I noticed LW was having difficultly DL an entire song without getting the "waiting for more sources" error. It simply wont download a song without my nonstop pressing find more sources, and when it does download, it plays the first few seconds of the song in a loop, like everytime it found a new source, it started over, etc., etc. Any ideas what gremlins made its way into my beloved limewire?
thanks,

jason

They're probably fakes. See: Fake files showing up in search results

thanks, I'll check that out. Ive been using limewire for a couple years now and this is the first time its done this. Ive tried videos and songs, all the same....D'oh!

So far nothings working. My next step is to uninstall and reinstall limewire. If I do this, will I lose all my songs?

No. Your songs are saved to your shared folder which should be at C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared. Uninstalling LW won't affect your library. Unless they're saved to the limewire program folder, which they shouldn't be, but if they are you'd need to move them to a different folder first.

Thats what I was wanting to hear, thank you!
