you on a modem? make sure you are connected to the internet if on a ISP. Waiting means the host could be busy or they are not online. You have to understand that you are downloading off of fellow users, not Limewire. Just because the sources are there that doesnt mean they'll be available when you go to download them. It all depends if the users are online when you are. check your Limewire settings under options, Limewire sets everything by default. Check your connection, make sure you didnt disconnect from your ISP while on Limewire. you have to go by the other users speed, not your own when downloading a file.
