Does this happen with everything that you try to download (I mean everything)? Even really old, not popular songs?

If it happens with everything, try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed.
See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

If it's only happening with some songs, just try varying your search terms. Look for artist or album rather than file name. Also try using All rather than Audio category when searching.
