How long this takes depends on how many incomplete files you have. However, if it lasts forever, delete your LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED; see instructions here Fixes for Limewire

QUEUED = LW is too busy to handle those files.

So, don't downld too many at one time. After opening LW, let it settle down 1st before using. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link)
