I am having a problem wth "awaiting sources" it seems they never download.

That's the result after you have used either the Resume/Find sources but without success. Quality is better than quantity. If you're going to use the find sources/resume function, don't use it on too many files at one time as you'll probably have less chance that they'll connect. Even better is doing a search to find fresh sources. What I often do is if there's a host with lots of files I'm after then I'll make a note of their ip. Then I'll try to direct connect with them. Fine if they're not firewalled. Another method is searching as suggested, but if they don't start downlding then I cancel the downld & reselect from the search results. If I have files that were downlding during the same session, I'll browse them (preferably from the downld window not the search results.) This is often effective in recontinuing the downlds.

See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Some days are better than others. Sometimes just closing LW & reopening or trying some hrs later can help with better results. Perhaps connecting to different & more efficient peers.

If you have the Vendor/Version column showing, see what clients they use. Some clients can be unreliable to connect/reconnect with for various reasons. Such as too busy on other networks so all their slots are full or no or little bandwidth available. Or just difficult to connect with clients.
