1)If the music you selected isn't available (Need more sources) then run the same search and click Find more sources. You will thus have a little of LW picking up New Sources for dld.
2)There is no real ideal time for dld. If you have a no-restrictions connection then just leave it open and hope that some of the files will be finished by the time you get home from work.
Otherwise, if there are more people on the net, then it will be easier to connect to more people, thus getting a better connection to the network and better/more results.
However, more sources for dld also might mean more traffic their way. In that case, they will have less bandwidth to offer=slower dlds.
3)If you want complete albums, the best way to do that IMO is to use the trusty (ahem, ahem) old Internet and search for bands' discographies. You then look up for each album the track listings and hope you can find them all in Limewire. (you will, but it might take time)

Oh, and by query, do you mean the Downloads window? If yes, then that's only because it waits for you to do something with it: either Kill it or click the Find more sources button.
