Limewire Pro shows a super connection....it just seems whenever I try to download something, it can start, then with 70 0r 80% complete it cuts off and says awaiting sources. I leave the system on...come back later and nothing has happened....I expected some hours or even a day later, the music would be finished downloading....but when I go and click on resume, up comes a connection and it continues downloading.

Cheers
