Default Over 7000 hits and i always get the "need more sources"

this one file will not connect on any pc i have tried. i've tried port forwarding, setting up fire walls correctly, and different pc's on different networks. no luck. over 7000 hits and i always get the "need more sources". i've checked all the files with Bitzi, and no luck. can anyone help? the search is for a video file name "********".

thanks

You're probably trying to download a fake file. Stay away from the files with huge numbers of sources...try a file with just a few, or even a modem source. If you find one that connects but has no Bitzi rating, preview after about 10% download, just to check the quality & content.
Check the thread below for some more info
