Thanks Lord....

Just back in town after a week away... and of my 130 downloads, two came through. I'll try your right-click advice.... wasn't aware of that.

To be clear... I will do a new search, and it will occassionally come up with a file that I already have partially downloaded, and there will be a blue arrow next to it, as if it were already downloading, or in cue for downloading.... but the partial file in my downloads list shows it as stalled, as always. I cannot get LW to recognize the file and try to resume the download. You're saying that may be because the IP address has changed, so LW doesn't "like" it anymore?... If all the download and all the "waiting" slots are full, would I get this result?.... or are there unlimited waiting slots?

Thanks for any more enlightenment....

In that scenario, I will right-click the 'Stalled' download file & choose 'Resume', hopefully it will attempt to reconnect to the host. Sometimes if you have too many downloads from same host, the host can only handle one or two of them, and the rest will perhaps wait for a while then go into Stalled.
If the search results had just come up & you did as I suggested, if the file does not show any effort at connecting properly then the host may have all their upload slots full.

I do find occasionally people remove some of their shares. So you will be very lucky to continue downloading those ones unless you can find another host with identical file.

I try to keep my shares static, if anything continually adding to it lol. Only exception is I sometimes change my share preferences, thus instead of sharing videos, pics & music, I might be sharing more music & videos. I don't do this too often though, rotating between the two sets of shares.

I'm on a mac... and when I control click on the stalled file, there is no 'Resume"... only 'Try Again".... and that typically gives me the connecting with 1 user message, and then stalled again. I have not been able to get it to resume... though I suppose its possible that all available downloads for that file are currently taken. I'll keep trying to see if it EVER works, and report back here if it does.

Thx
