1st suggestion is not to use the Resume or Find Sources button on many files (if any.)

I don't

The best way to continue dwnlds is to manually search for the sources. If you're searching for music, don't just rely upon audio searches. Also try a General search type. Many people don't label their files very well so a general search can often find these other files.

I usually always do. I did a search for Hallelujah, found the same one I downloaded months ago before the 2 reformats I did to my hard drive. It had 35 sources, and still it said Need More Sources

Some hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.

thats not gonna help any

Depending upon how many incomplete files & shared files you have, the settling down period of LW might take between 10 mins to an hour!!! So keep that in mind. Don't use all of LW's resources until it has loaded every thing at least.

One hour you say? That's pretty much how long it took before it finally freaking connected
I dont have any incomplete files or any shared files because I just got done with another reformat and no freaking P2P programs work
