Can you download other files (eg music) without a problem?

There are fake files around, which will sit connecting for ages (trying heaps of hosts) & then get stuck needing sources forever but won't ever download. Always use Bitzi to check a movie file before download. People use Bitzi to rate files...if the file's been rated then you'll get an idea of content & quality. See the 'how to use Bitzi' link for info about downloading Bitcollider...so that you can rate files yourself.
If a file has heaps of sources but no Bitzi rating, chances are it's a fake. There's more info & tips in the threads below.
