Why is Download status always "waiting?"
 

I am getting a very slow to no response at all when downloading videos. I may have 30 or 40 videos in queue, yet only one of them is downloading, while the status of the rest is "waiting."

I have DSL and Windows XP, SP2. I wonder if I've got the wrong options settings for downloading? Can you say what the optimum settings should be for better downloading of files?
