Did you have a look at the 2 threads I gave you which are Stickys about how to get the best out of LW? Basically, awaiting sources means it's waiting for LW to fully decide if there's enough sources to to dwnld from. Needing more sources means the sources available are not strong enough (not enough dwnld resources) to dwnlad from. Queud means its waiting in turn for LW to identify its sources & decide whether they are strong enough & a connection can be made after several attempts. Busy means the source is already uplding to its max level & requests surpass the availability of upld slots. Waiting in Line means the source(s) is busy & you need to wait (it may mean even if you get connection for a dwnld you might need to share dwnld time with others in queu due to so many requests upon the source.) If you do a search for sources or search you will no doubt find threads with a detailed description on how to optimise your searches. You haven't told us anything about your system or connection. By the way this is not LW service support, this is a forum run by volunteers. There's been so many repeated answers for this issue. Every forum has rules, & searching the forum for your topic/problem before you post is one of those rules. Excuse my getting to the point. But when I get to the point I will get the answer or if I'm being insulted then I'll give what I feel like giving at the time. (Why should I sit here & be insulted for giving free advice!) lol
