Question connection difficulties (also awaiting sources, slow downloads)

the status is not turbo charged only excellent connection now. Also once i start the download process it stops and says waiting for sources and then it takes about 3 days to download.

Can you please give us your details: System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

In LW, go tools > options > advanced > performance. Disable DHT, Ultrapeer capabilities & TLS > Apply > ok. Restart LW & see whether your connection reaches turbo again.

Do downloads start ok & then go to 'awaiting sources' or do some downloads show 'need more sources' straight away? If the file's host goes offline, then you'll see the awaiting sources message. Try going back to the search page, right click on the file you're downloading > search more > get more results. Sometimes that can get the download going again.

Files that go straight to needing sources & never start downloading are usually fakes. Check the threads below for more info.

And also some general info here (for video as well as music)...
