Default Downloading .avi/.mpg files

I am new to this, so first off hello. I am running LW off of windows vista. And my problem is downloading video. I can download music all day, but when I go to download on of the recent movies or videos I get the connecting in my download screen at the bottom, but it never connects to a host. And it does this for all of themore recent movies. Is there anything I can do to fix this. It will let me connect to an older movie file, but a new on I cannot get to work. Please help.

There are heaps of fake files throughout the network & these typically have lots of sources but will sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Always check a file with Bitzi before download...if there are lots of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are the file's a fake. Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi
