It appears this forum is not that active. Where are all the replies!?

I have the same problem downloading. BearShare will find all the songs, then start downloads. However, after the first wave of downloads, all the STATUS changes to WAITING, and nothing furher happens.

I have found, however, that if you exit the program, and then restart, a new batch of downloads will start. I do this over and over, and it seems to work. This is totally annoying, but at least I can kick the program to function.
