I'm running LimeWire client 4.2.6 Pro under Windows 2000 Pro, with Firefox as my browser via a DLS modem.

When I select something to download, it almost invariably winds up with 'afaiting sources' and seems to just die there. I thought LimeWire was supposed to retry, but my computer is on 24/7 and nothing happens until I click 'resume', usually with little or no change.

The suggestion to 'kill download' and renew the search means a lot of time and effort finding the item again.

as far as 'manually' searching, I'm not sure what that means. Mayhaps, someone can help me with that.
