Hi Sara, You can try this. Right click on the file that needs more sources and you should see "Search More" > Get More Results. Click on Get More Results and Limewire will start searching for more Hosts. you can continue this process as many times as it takes but it's not a guarantee. Just keep trying. Hope this helps.

Sara, they might be fake files. Are you using Bitzi to check your video files before you start downloading?? It's Highly Recommended that you do. See this thread.

Does it tell you "Bitprint not found"? If so that means it's a bad or fake file. Just keep searching. Try different methods, and variations .

I have found best results with AVI files. I think they are the safest. I have never downloaded any other file format.

Hope this helps.

Whoopee!! I finally did it. I did a search on Bitzi then typed in the exact file name that it had listed in my search and got one to come up. Now it is downloading...... I could have never done it without your help! Thanks a bunch.. When it gets done here, then I will probably post about using my new dvd burner... I havent ever done that before either. Thanks again and now it is time to take a nap before work in the mornin. Later.
