This happened to me last year when my ex ISP started to "bandwidth shape" my internet connection, i.e. restrict my P2P usage. I found that my Internet browsing was unaffected but I could no longer use LW to download film clips.

You're probably seeing fake files.

If you're searching for music files, use the All Types search & search for artist or album rather than song title. Go for a file with 10 sources or less...stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources.
If you're searching for video files, always chech the file with Bitzi before download. If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake.

Check out the threads below for more info & tips, including how to use Bitzi.
