That's normal for LW to queue all files as soon as it opens. Then after it has loaded your shared files, it will attempt to connect to each incomplete file one by one on its own (if it can find sources immediately available.) How long this takes depends on how many incomplete files you have. However, if it lasts forever, delete your LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED; see instructions here Fixes for Limewire

QUEUED = LW is too busy to handle those files.

So, don't downld too many at one time. After opening LW, let it settle down 1st before using. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link)
