help

Ok, I really have alot of faith in limewire, and hope this is a problem with my own ignorance and not the network itself...but it seems out of all the files I search for, I rarely am able to get what I want...most download requests become "requery sent" or "waiting for busy"....files that I think would be relativley easy to download (lets say "********" by ****) have become a daily effort that yeilds nothing..I just got DSL and was really hoping to be like, the download king or something...so far its a no-go....what am I doing wrong??
