None of my downloads are working - I just get 'queued' for everything I try to download, and when I try to force resume nothing happens.

Queued means your LW is too buy to attend to downlding or trying to connect to those downlds. People want to jump onto LW & immediately downld. LW isn't like that. Depending on how many incomplete & shared files you have it can take LW some time to load them all & try to one by one connect to each individual incomplete. After opening LW, let it settle. Give it 20 or 30 mins or more. The longer LW's been on the more settled & happy it is.
Also, don't try to download too many files at once. That will definitely send most into queued.
Also don't Resume all your incomplete files after opening. This will have side-fx as well as sending them all into queued. Resuming too many files is neither healthy for LW or your connection or the G.network.


Some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
