One of the most annoying features of limewire is that you cannot tell limewire to search for more sources when it is awaiting sources. It will say it is awaiting sources, but if I do a manual search I find four star sources. In Kazaa you could easily search for more sources, but for limewire it seems you can only do it once (then it is forever awaiting sources).

I only use limewire now, but I wish that this would be changed. A nice, one click find more sources would help with searching, and maybe it could also try finding new ultrapeers to find the file.

Where can send requests/suggestions for the next version of limewire? It seems hard to contact people unless you already bought pro?

There is a new BETA out. If you want to make suggestions on it then I would suggest you download the newest version. You will find the links you need in this thread:

Try it out for a while and then make suggestions on what to fix

Thanks sleepless. I think I will try that. But it is also odd that I forgot to mention that it is odd that there is not a way for limeware to try downloads that are awaiting sources automatically when it is not doing anything else. Still, limeware has been better than other places for sharing, it just takes more attention and work.

Awaiting sources means it's already tried but the sources aren't available. That's of course if they aren't fake files in the 1st place. Recognising fake files

LW doesn't automatically keep searching for sources because doing such would over-work the network & slow it down to a crawl. The traffic would be immense. It's an agreed Gnutella protocol not to.

The best way to find sources is to individually search for them; a separate search for each file that needs more sources.

OK, that seems logical. So when I do the search for a file, just do the search and then double click the file that is awaiting sources and it will connect with the new source?
Thanks for your help and explanations. It's appreciated.
