There are lots of fake files around now...these will sit connecting for ages & then show need more sources but they won't ever download. Typically these are newer releases & have heaps of sources (up to 100). For files like these, check the thread below for info & tips

Waiting on busy hosts just means that the host with the file you want is just too busy to service your download right now...search a little bit later & you might find that you're able to download normally.

Is this really happening for every song? Try to download an old song, with only a few sources (say 3 or less) & even try a modem source.
If every single thing that you try to download really does cause probs, try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's closed. See points 2 & 3 below for instructions
