Question about downloads (What does it mean when it says "stalled")

What does it mean when it says "stalled"
when looking for a download?

I get a "stalled" message when I try to download a song.It doesn't happen every time. I hit "fix stalled download" tab, but it won't work. How do I stop this?
Thanks

So always the best answer is to re-search for the file yourself. ie: same way you searched originally to find the file. Chances are the user(s) you were downloading from are offline or changed ip address.
Perhaps 5-10 minutes after a search has finished, you can right-click the search tab & choose Find More Results from the sub-menu that appears. :)

Thank you for your answer. I deleted the search and tried again. It happens on a lot of files I search for. Too much to be one user.
Some files are fine and more so not.
I deleted the program and reloaded it, even used a different version. Same thing.
But I will not give up.

Here's a few more tips: 1. How to find music and files & some file sizes to beware of: 2. Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see)
