Default Need more Sources (info needed)

Sometimes I dont mind seeing this need more sources bull, but my question is if you search it and it shows up, why cant you get it. For days this one thing said that till I just said to hell with it. Maybe I misunderstand how it all works I dont know.. But if even 1 source is there i can still get things.. or does your search just show things even if there are no sources??.. Thanks bunches.. Hugs....



EDIT... Opps maybe put this in wrong area.. Sorry guys....

If a result shows up, it should be available (at least with a proper current client). Some bad older clients used to report files that may have been available weeks earlier. Not good.

However, a source may say a file is available, and then afew minnutes later the source might go offline, or be busy serving up the file.

Also, if you make too many requests from a source that only has a few slots available, your requests may be temporarily banned. For example, if I browse someone with a lot of files and try to repeatedly download more than the usual 3, then that source might automatically ban me as a "banned greedy client."
