You can try sending a message to them via LW. Problem though is it's not reliable. If their LW is super busy. Also, often people leave LW running whilst at work in the background or overnight & don't see the message until it's gone stale. But it's worth a try.

Hey LOTR

Thanks for the reply but is there a way that maybe the file that you're trying to download is shaded in a different colour to let you know that the source isn't connected so you're not wasting time trying to download things for weeks on end??

It's frustrating especially if people are in different time zones.

Thanks for the advice n e ways. Will try and source how to send messages via LW.
