Ahhhh~ I'm so confused!!!! Please Help me!

Sorry, I am a Limewire newbie. I am so confused with all the functions/features in LW. I have read pages and pages in LW forum, and I still dun quite get the idea.

Q1)Basically, I have no problems connecting and searching, but I just can't get the downloading to work. My list of searched downloads just keep on sending requeries and waiting for results. Does this downloading problem has anything to do with: sharing/#of files shared, and ultrapeer enabled/disabled?

Q2)For the time being, I have only 6 connected hosts, all are outgoing ultrapeers. What does outgoing ultrapeers mean? Is that a good thing? Most of the time, I have 1K hosts & 1TB available. How is it, good or bad?

Q3)Also, I found out a funny thing, not quite sure if it was a coincidence or not. When I searched for an item, related to the items in my download/transfer list (eg. Adobe), the adobe items in my transfer list would, all of a sudden, start downloading.


I would really appreciate if anyone can answer my questions :D
THANKS VERY MUCH!
