On Limewire i cant get movies to download?

i double-click on them to download them and they go for a little while and then it says 'cannot find sources' or 'waiting on busy hosts'. does this mean i should just wait and theyll eventually download, or should i just keep retrying them, or is it like that with all movies and its just not gonna work?

    It means that there is not enough sources or people sharing that specific file at the moment. You generally want to go for files that have a higher number of sources, or numbers in the second column. Hopefully you aren't downloading anything illegal from Limewire!

    If you want full movies, then Limewire is rubbish!

    The waiting for busy hosts, means you are queued, or waiting your turn to download, and you are so far down the list that you are not shown!

    Cannot find sources, means the person or persons are not on line, so you cannot download from them, until the come back on line.

    Try TORRENTS for movies, it is quicker, and LESS hassle!
