Whenever I try downloading something..

[Lawangeen]

Whenever I try downloading something, it just says that more sources are needed. Help!

[cpugeniusmv]

In which program?

[Lawangeen]

Oh. In Kazaa.

[Malakai1911]

I guess the simple fix is stop using kazaa.

[moneoa]

In Kazaa it means that there are not many people sharing the file and it cannot connect to the few that are. Until more people have it in thier share directory it will give you that error.

Kazaa my friend is a shadow of it's former self, been going downhill for at least 3-4 years.

If you would like something that has the same flavour and ease of use I recommend Ares

Good luck and Welcome to ZP.

Try Limewire, it shouldn't be too different to what youre used to in Kazaa but it works well for what it is :D

[Lawangeen]

Yeah but Kazaa is the only free one. I really don't want to have to pay, you know?

[Auggie2k]

Dude if you want that program your looking for just bittorrent!

Ares is free and is much like Kazaa I promise.
You don't pay for P2P and if you think you have too your just using the wrong program.
Nothing on ZP's Program list is pay for use.

Yeah, I looked into Ares, and I'm downloading the file that I needed right now. Free too. I just hope that the download goes through all the way, and doesn't stop in the middle of it. If you wanna know what file I want to download, it's No file names please..

Thanks.

[moneoa]

Cool man, glad to help but edit your last post.
Filenames are a no no

Taken care of...

[crackerjacker]

HAHAHAAAAAAAA, wow tihnk about wat limewire is first off...baisically a p2p program - it ahndles serials and cracks too - www.limewire.com go donwload the baisic version - the click on the [rograms tab in the top left corner after downloading then serch LimeWire 4.8.1 PRO then download LimeWire 4.8.1 Pro (NEW)
or sometihng like that - make sure its got good health - i would say keep to 3 or 4 stars at the side - oh and once its done open it - a box should come up asking you what language you want it - dont click next - first right click your limewire basic (the icon in the taskbar, quick launch icon) and click exit - wait for it to exit!
many people dont and if you dont - thats when the setup if likeley to mess up and skip a few files!

But i would just simply switch to BitTorrent APPS cause they are faster - they use Trackers - DHT's like gnutella that go through a network are waaaaay slower!! cause networks are baisically backups on bandwidth and so cause its on bandwidth your speeds cant soar too high! but using a tracker (BitTorrent Clients) you connect straight to the seeds and sources - which means you can get full downloads using your max speed! even if theres 1 seed¬ and like 200 peers - if you use BitBuddy - the peers cant leech
its inpossible to leach - cause if you set your uplaod rate to 0 - bytes stille get sent - not KB but B!
so every one is a seeder using that! TRUST ME just try BitBuddy for beginers - then you mihgt wanna try other BT clients - yull realsise they got MUCH les toubles - infact hardly any problems i ever hear about torrents appart from people maoning about the best BT Client - its simply what your confortable with :)

Gnutella doesn't use a DHT & a DHT is not used for downloading, gnutella is using HTTP for downloading and it delivers similar speeds as BitTorrent if you have enough sources to download from.

Ha...i didn't even think about doing that...BUT, has anyone on here dowloaded limewire 4.8, if so how much better is it than regular Limewire :icon_scra

[Sparky9]

Recent versions of the LimeWire client contain vulnerabilities that allow a remote user to access many or all files on a users machine.

Vulnerable Systems:
* LimeWire versions 4.1.2 up to 4.5.6 are vulnerable to File Disclosure
* LimeWire versions 3.9.6 up to 4.6.0 are vulnerable to Directory Traversal

Immune Systems:
* LimeWire version 4.6.0 (File Disclosure)
* LimeWire version 4.8.0 (Directory Traversal)

[JOHNGUY]

so is it safe for the most part to use limewire 4.8?

[Sparky9]

define "safe"
