Default having problems when searching, a lot of bogus files appear after the search finishes

Hi, the problem i am having is that when i search something, for example a video clip, i get like 4000 results, and lets say i double click on one that has 90 sources. well it stays as awaiting sources and doesnt download anything. this happens for a lot of stuff i try to download.

Could someone explain whats going on and plz help and give me a possible soltuion for this.

Thanks

Yes, there are a lot of fake files around now & they behave just as you've said.
Search again, vary your search terms (look for actors'/directors names), try the All Types search. Stay away from files with heaps of sources. Go for a file with 10 sources or less, or a modem source.
Always check a video before download with Bitzi. If the file's been rated, you'll see other users' opinions of it. Files with heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating are usually fakes.
How to use Bitzi

The same advice goes for music, except you should try searching for artist or album rather than song title. Also, music's not rated with Bitzi very often.

There's some more about fake files in the post below:wink:
