I was downloading from 1 host...but the speedometer ( I don't know what to call them...) says 0 Kb/s...and the Time tab is empty....and of course, the d/l won't progress...

how could this happen?? I'v experienced this a dozen time, and I must admitt I'm quite annoyed with it....

Thanks

Have a look to the right & does it tell you the Vendor of the person you're downldg from. Then most reknown for being slow are RAZA (Shareaza) who often seem to offer around 0.1 up to 2-3 KB/s. lol (OH by the way if you don't have the vendor column you can choose to show it by right-clicking the very top of the downld columns. A menu will appear & just select vendor/version. This will show which p2p share client you're downlding from.)

Some tips & xtra skills can be read about if you see all the off-shoot links from this page here: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Well it says "LimeWire/4.8.1."


But now the Status Column often says "Waiting For Busy Hosts" what's that supposed to mean?

That means they are busy. You'll need to wait for them. Do another search. And check out all the links I gave you. They help to answer your usage issues with LW.
