I know what you mean. My download just sits there as well. It says "awaiting sources" or "need more sources" too. At first you think it's just taking a while, but it just sits there and doesn't download. I've only started experiencing this in April, and it's kind of weird because it never happened before. That day in April I was downloading some songs, but only a few got downloaded, and the rest just said "awaiting sources" and "need more sources" forever. Ever since then, that's all it has been saying when I try to downlaod. The last time I used it prior to that was sometime in January and had no probs. I was able to use it anytime before that as well and it worked fine, so I don't know what could be wrong all of a sudden. I'll try and answer the questions about providing details to better get help. All I know right now is that the limewire version we're using is 4.12.6 and we've a cable modem for our internet. And I'm also wondering why this is happening all of a sudden when my limewire has always worked fine before.
