There are several files that I would like to download from a host on the network that I am having problems with and could use some assistance. Questions are:

I can direct connect to the host. Does this indicate that they are connected to the network at the time I direct connect?

When I browse the host shared folder, it indicates that I have an incomplete download. When I attempt to download the file it is queued, then goes to waiting on busy host, then goes to awaiting sources, resume then waiting for sources. Does this mean that the host is blocking the download?

Lately it seems that there are a lot more hosts that have lowered there upload bandwidth or have restricted sharing. I have liked Limewire very well but the system will only work well when hosts are eager and helpful in sharing files.

I encourage all to set there upload bandwith as high as possible
and to make as many files as possible available to all. The more hosts that have the file the quicker it can be downloaded and shared by many.

Thanks
