what does the green text in the Speed column of the search window indicate?

also, if I get the "Could not download" message, is Limewire actively looking for other sources for the particular file? Or is there something I should do? Like institute a more specific search?

lastly, I don't have a Connections Tab, why is that?

green speeds are speeds, verified by the client.

LimeWire is not actively searching for more sources when the "could not download" message is displayed. You have to search for the file again manually.

The connections tab can be activated from the menu.
