When you click to download, do files move into the download pane (below the results page)? If not, try the advice here
License (click)

Or, do files sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever?If that's the case, 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

What is it saying, needs more sources? Or is it just sitting there, not doing anything? Check the bottom left corner of your LW screen. You should see vertical green bars. If they're red, you're having a connection issue. Let LW sit open for a while and see if it doesn't improve. Connection improves the longer LW is open. Good luck!

Hey thanks for responding Tek but my connectivity is not the problem, the problem is that I had a bunch of files in my down load section and when I open my lw the next day they were all gone I saw a brief message that said lw could not load your pennding down loads or some thing like that if you or any body else has some info on what happen I would greatly appreciate it thanks in advance.
