Don't use the resume/find sources function. That will simply queue them for ages if you have many incompletes. QUEUED = LW is too busy to handle them.

Best technique is to search each one using the original search terms you used. Then after a while, control-click the search tab & choose Find More Results. This will hopefully build up the no. of sources available.
Also if you see your download in the search results but it doesn't start, you can cancel it & reselect it to download.

I hope you are also aware of fake files. Beware of Fake files in search results

Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? new prob __ 14. Do you see a brick wall? YES __ 15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall? yes

If you are using a 3rd party firewall & not windows firewall, then make sure Vista's firewall is disabled. Otherwise that will cause problems.
If it's a new problem, then delete your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED to see if that fixes it; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html
