Default How to download "need more sources"

You can only download a file if the source is on line at the same time you are.
Limewire does not store files itself. LW only connects your a source or sources that have the file you want. If your last source goes offline during a download, LW will display You can only download a file if the source is on line at the same time you are.

Partial solution:
1. Share your files. The more you share the more you can get.
2. Right click on any file in your downloads list. then press"CTRL A" =(select all)
3. Then left click the selected list and chose "Force resume".
4. Repeat once every hour or so.

So many files to share, not enough time to use them all."

I don't particularly agree with your advice about flooding the network with resuming all your files once every hr or so. It's not good for the Gnutella network & for some people will cause them problems such as using up too much system resources & may even affect their connection (ie: lose connection.)

There's better & more responsible ways of continuing files such as listed here: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Greg Bildson of LW made such comments re: requeries HERE (click on link) LW has been deliberately staying away from requerying & dropped what requery options it had in earlier versions. LW has been working cooperatively with other Gnutella clients in order to provide a responsible & healthy network.
