I think the developers need to understand that I -- and many others -- consider the Awaiting Sources function to be broken. As another example, before going to bed at night, I'll request a dozen TV episodes. Most of them will report Busy and I'll leave it like that overnight. The next morning, none of them will have downloaded, all of them will report Awaiting, but when I Force Resume each of them, they all resume either Busy or actual downloading.

So, LW is obviously giving-up too early. And it would obviously benefit from some kind of long-term retry.

Please don't tell me I'm exaggerating or that I don't understand the issues...
