From what I've been told, Awaiting sources means that the person you were downloading from is offline. You might have to wait until they decide to go back onto LimeWire again to get your downloads.

CS is right. so .. It might be best to re-search for the file, and you might find another very slightly different version which you will have to start from scratch, but may complete quicker.

Listen to Hobo. You'll be able to get the downloads that you want more quickly this way. I think all of us have learnt this the hard way.
