Can't donwloads files with a high number of sources

GTO NEMESIS · #1 (**permalink**) August 13th, 2007

I am having some issue trying to download certain files. (Movie files apx 350 MB's)
It keeps saying need more sources but number shows 90-100 sources. If I try and download something with far less sources it works fine…

Is there something I am doing wrong?

The following is the required system data:

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
MAC OSX 10.4.10

2. What firewalls you have?
Er? However OSX sets it up

3. How much ram?
8 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

4. Hard Disk space available?
712 GBs

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
8MB Broadband

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
NETGEAR Rangemax DG834PN

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.)?
HOUSE

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
LIMEWIRE 4.6.12 PRO
Jave 1.5.0_07

9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)?
Seriously Broadband

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
Your Test Worked

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
Have had the issue before but never persisted with it, but it just won’t download the files I want now.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Shows: Turbo-Charged connection

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
Er????

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall
Standard OSX security

16. What country are you living in? Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland).
London, UK

Thanks
Mark

They seem to check out OK.
The files are episodes of [edit]

I have downloaded plently of them before but now I can't download anymore?

I have checked the liecence section and that is fine, I have re installed Limewire on my Mac and my Lapton (Running XP) and still not joy...

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

If you keep getting the same hosts over and over, add the IP numbers into your Host Filter...
Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

I also found this about your ISP Seriously Internet: About Us

They are an affiliate of BT Broadband who is known to have A fair use policy in place...Also it is advised to avoid using p2p during the peak period...

::. Kitz - ISP Caps, FUPs and Prices .::

So this may well be your problem...

Ok still no luck with these files.
I can download anything else such as [edit].

The following is a couple of screen shots of what issues I am seeing:

I deleted the conections as suggested but still not joy:

Any help would be appreciated!
If a file is so popular would that cause it to say need more sources?
I have tried downloading at different times using different versions of Limewire, one on a PC laptop and Limewire Pro on my Mac.

Thanks
Mark

It's not your Limewire or your connection that is causing this problem you are having, it would definatley be Fake Files....

Use Bitzi and search for those files there, then you can click on the Gnutella magnet link at the bottom of the page and try and get your sources that way...
