The issues regarding successful downloads really have quite little to do with the clients themselves -- they have far more to do with whether or not you happen to attempt a download from someone who has a free upload slot available and is on a fast connection.

That said, LimeWire 1.4 (due out by the end of the week) includes a powerful new ranking feature for search results. A search result with 4 stars will work almost every time you try it, as this indicates that the computer returning the result has:

1) available upload slots
2) is not firewalled

This should dramatically improve the performance of downloads, and we hope that everyone enjoys the new feature.
