Question Always "need more sources"

It seems that no matter what I try to download I get the "Need More Sources" error. I've tried doing a search and then selecting each file right after another to catch a live link...dosen't work. I've tried different file names..dosen't work. I've tried using the search for more sources option, but that just downloads spam. I've been working at this for days now with no luck. It can't possibly be all dead links, this has happened with number of different searches. Is there another solution that I'm missing?

Try this and see if it helps your results...

Go to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.
PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs

PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki


Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...

Hello :wave:

I've discovered this forum :hooray: hoping it's similar to my normal chat forum...

Discovered Limewire recently and had no trouble downloading episodes of [edit](which I LOVE) ... ATM i'm downloading 2 episodes but no hosts..!

Also, how can I check which episode of programs listed with just the name???

I've got Limewire pro now but the basic edition seemed to be easier??? or is it just me? LOL...

Yep!!! I'm the same!!! Was fine till I got Limewire Pro!!!


The free one was a piece of cake.... I thought it would be better but it's slower and there seem to be no hosts

Try sticking to the one thread, it gets to confusing when you multipost around the forums, not to mention it's also against the rules...

OK..I love that show as well ...Just waiting for season 5 to start...

When you go to download check the file with Bitzi first to see if it's rated, if it's not known keep going until you find one that is...Then at least you will know it's a genuine file...
How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat

To be able to tell what season and episode the files are, it should say in the file title something like S01E05...This would mean Season 1 episode 5....

Ok... I'll try and remember them all!

I'm with Bigpond broadband
Windows XP
The link said "Your test worked!"

Until today, after installing Pro, I didn't have any problems

I have read some of your other posts, WW and found the 'instructions' a bit difficult to understand I'm not a wiz with computers and so on but learning more every day
