Angry Sources (Awaiting, Need More)

I'm wondering what is up with the whole sources thing. I leave my PC on 24/7 as i imagine many people do (so we never miss that moment when someone comes back online). I allow 9999 uploads ( i only have 5000 to share ). I'm assuming that people don't think to change the number of downloads people can make. So when i'm after a collection of music that someone has, i can only get about half of it and then i must wait for someone else to download the other half so Limewire will find more sources. This is stupid. Why can't Limewire et al. simply allow all shared files to be downloaded, limited by the number of simultaneous dl / ul as it already is. If hogging becomes an issue then make Limewire "leapfrog" the queue so that everyone in the queue gets a fair share. I'm sitting here right now with a many files partially finished (waiting for them to get back online?) and way too many files "awaiting/needing soures". Why is there no help file explaining exactly what this means? All i know is intuition.

Just a thought. But this really bugs me.

Oh and by the way, there is no option in Limewire to "force IP address" to improve connection. Other threads mentioned this and i think it's bolony. I personally never have a problem. Just these darned sources...
