There are fake files throughout the network, these will sit connecting for ages & then eternally need more sources.
Check files with Bitzi before download. If other users have rated the file, you'll get an idea of the content & quality. If a movie has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating...chances are it's a fake
Check out the threads below for info & tips (including how to use Bitzi).

Bitzi says unknown bitprint if nobody's rated that file. I look for .avi files for movies. Stay away from .mov files...they're mostly porn/crap. And .wmv files aren't too trustworthy either

while @ the bitzi site, you are also able to search for files....do so, if they have been released on the network then there will be a bitprint and associated magnet for it....or you can manually search for a file of that size...

It says at the top corner to register or sign in, is that why everything is coming up as unknown, or is that because no one has rated the material yet?

no..you don't have to sign in to get proper results @ bitzi....bitzi is pretty much for movies and programs....other files are not rated nearly as much...if there is an unknown bitprint for a movie then its a pretty damn good bet that its a fake result
