you get incomplete songs for the reason that you haven't given LW a chance to downlaod them. so be patient depending on your connection, the hosts connection, the number of host, and the demands you might not get it right away. try also to download the file from many hosts, when you search there is a tab with "#" on it this means how many hosts have the song you are looking for. also sharing helps as you will get better search reasults and limewire wil favor you. this might also minimise the chances of people blocking you for being a freeloader.
BTW are the files you are looking for popular?

When u choose to dwnld a file on the Gnutella netwrk, you're not dwnlding from a website! You're dwnlding from individual people who may have anything from dial-up modems or much better. They might be over the other side of town or over the other side of the world. Yet it might sometimes be just as hard to connect to somebody b/c of the netwk traffic, your isp traffic, their isp traffic, connection probs, their upld bandwidth might be busy with other people, etc. There's never any guarantee you can connect to the same person one day to the next. Which is why you need to seek out to find more sources. The more sources u have the more chance you'll have of connecting to somebody who has that file. Sometimes LW requires some baby-sitting & you need to continually monitor the dwnlds & do searches to overcome the issue. Yet other times yo can just turn LW on & the files connect by themselves eventually. Using an effective search & dwnld technique helps. See this link for some hints (click on link.) You can also press resume, however unless you have sources at hand's length this is not always an effective technique.

Uh this was apparently my 1000th post. Where's my free Mars bar reward? Maybe I should delete some so next time I don't forget to get excited about nothing. 1k what a ...

hands you a mars bar. I have the same problem, lots of files are being shared and lots being loading by other users. But I have a few that sit there for 2 weeks with no completion. Its frustrating when I am sharing my files an not getting any. Any advice?

Follow the suggestions in the link in my previous post. Also, you can continue dwnlds by pressing the Resume button. I only do this as a last resort. The reason is b/c it sucks up connection energy & affects your overall connection to the gnutella network. Some of the files you chose to dwnld may be from difficult to connect users. They might be busy much of the time or just difficult to connect to. The reasons for difficulty in connecting to particular sources are many. Best answer is usually to search for more sources to find alternatives. Do it at the right time & yo can be lucky (if there's not many sources for that file & it's a difficult source to connect to.)
