More Sources Needed
 
What the heck? Is there a way I can get more sources? Also, what does it mean when it says, Waiting for Busy Hosts....? Thanks:)

click "get more sources" ... or was that a rhetorical question? you may be better off doing a fresh search.

Waiting for busy hosts means just that.. Sometimes you will be downloading, probably at a low rate, and the d/l will stop and show "waiting for busy hosts" If you click resume it will probably restart, but there is no need as Limewire automatically re-checks every minute or so.

Depending on the host you are trying to download off, you might get put in a queue, or you might get the waiting for busy hosts sign until there is a clear space. Sometimes you will wait forever and give up, as I get the impression that some hosts set their upload rate at zero, but I could be wrong <G> Limewire will, as above, keep checking.

If You see need more sourses LW will not keep searching you must activate "get more sources.
