Howdy, i've currently got LimeWire 4.8.1 Pro and Java 1.5.0_01 installed. But every time i go to download something all it ever seems to do is... Waiting For Busy Hosts, Need More Sources, and Connecting - but it never does. But then when it finally does connect or atleast say it has (Downloading from 8 hosts) it then disconnects and goes back to Waiting For Busy Hosts. Can anyone help me?

Cheers.

P.S. Upload works fine.. it's just downloading.

Be patient. And select those with multiple sources from the search results uner the # column & 3 or 4 stars which represents the chances of successful connection & downld. Doing another search of the topic might even find more sources. Perhaps try another time of day. 'Some' people might even select more than one file from the results to downld to increase their chances.

hmm...

Quality: 4 Stars
# 32

what more can i do..? LimeWire has been running now for a couple of hours and out of the 10 odd songs im trying to dl the most one of them has completed is 4%, so i'm guessing that it will require an enormous amount of pacience to wait the song out =[

If you've selected files that show busy hosts .. then sounds like a popularly wanted file but not many free slots available & sharing time over the available slot(s).

Sometimes stopping the downld if it shows needs more sources & re-select to downld from search results can give it some life. But it can depend on many factors. One of these is how many files you're downlding at once. And how many downld slots you have.
