can you be a bit more specific - do you have files in the download window that are not downloading?

does it say 'queued'? 'couldn't download'? 'waiting for sources'?

i can give you some general advice:
  • only download files that have multiple sources, at least 3 or 4. files from that are only served by one host have a high likelihood of failure, because once that host disconnects, there's no alternatives.
  • if a download interrupts, try searching for the same file again. if limewire finds additional hosts serving the same file (maybe they just connected a while ago), it will add them to the sources and the download will resume.

i hope that helps.

btw: thanks for sharing stuff. that's what keeps the network going.
