waterfire33,

I guess that you are looking at albums and selecting only the songs you wish to dl. When you are making the selections you are using your browser. Even though LW is up and running, until you hit the open button, (in the pop-up 'open, save, cancel'), you are still in your browser. After you hit 'open' the info is sent to LW to begin the dl. So while you are un-checking those little boxes you are not in LW. I know of no way to make your task easier.

Like LotR, I use Vuze for torrent downloading. Limewire is limited in the number of torrents it can dl at the same time, and LW is banned from some torrent sites for not complying with required protocols. I strongly suggest you get Vuze or uTorrent (both are free) and stop using LW for torrents.
