New to downloading songs

i first searched the web site, easymusicdownloads.com, for the songs i wanted and they came up as available. no other sites for mp3 could match them. so i just downloaded the limeware software last night from EMD link and have been trying to download the songs for 5 hours and nothing is coming onto my hard drive. does it take this long? i only keyed in 10 songs from a CD that is out of print. at one point one fo the connections had over 11,000 messages whatever that means. is this really worth all the time it takes?
