anything i try to download doesnt work becasue it "needs more sources". and then when i click find more sources for download, awaiting sources pops up and stays there forever. HELP

first of all that just means u have a slow internet....although with limewire Pro it virtually never comes up....

that leaves u with 3 options...

Buy Pro
edit
Or Upgrading your internet speed

ive got option 2...works best!

I'd say it's fake files and/or fake hosts....

This will explain...

If that doesn't help you out try this...

Try going 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

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

It can also be that the host has simply turned off their computer. My advice is simply try another search result. I have a fast broadband connection and I still get the problem from time to time.
