Default Download Help

I've been trying to download two .avi video files for a few weeks now. The sizes are both 349 mb, and in a search, one got 69 hits, and the other got 91 hits. However, when I try to download each, it cannot find any sources. Are there any solutions to this problem?

Either the hosts for the files have gone offline or it's possible that you're trying to download fake files. Start a new search & look up the files before download with Bitzi, to check quality & content
How to use Bitzi
If they're movies then 349MB sounds a bit small, unless they're part 1 & part 2?

Try varying your search terms a bit, use the All Types search & look for movie title - avi. Remember to search at different times of day too, as users in other time zones log on & off more sources will be come available.

They're actually two 40-min TV shows, and my player (Windows Media) works best with .mpg files anyways, but I can't find any of those. Bitzi shows nothing, good or bad.

If you are downloading from sources like T3 and T1 because they have the most sources and fastest connection.. well guess what so is every other user on limewire... also birdy's reply about fake files is true too...
