BTW, I have tried to get results for about 3 months now for a certain show and amazingly after beginning this thread, this morning I found hits! AND THEY'RE DOWNLOADING! Wierd.

I've browsed many of the threads in this forum and the best advice is always given. After searching, right click on one of the results that look promising and then click on 'advanced options' (I think that's the option), and then click on 'look up with bitzi'. I truely believe this method elliminates a lot of the fake files out there. It's a great feature.

Now, back to my original question, maybe I didn't make myself clear...

I'm a long time user of p2p software, not necessarily limewire specifically.

When I run a search and pick a result to DL, and it begins DL'ing. All is good. Then I assume the host turns off his computer, or shuts down LW, or something else happens to the connection and it sits in "awaiting sources" or "needs more sources" status for a long time at say 27% complete, is there a way to find another host/server/whatever to continue the DL? Or, do I have to perform the search all over and begin a brand new download.

My other thinking is that I can right click on the partially completed file and click the "find more sources" options. I've tried it, but never to a positive result. What actually happens when you perform this task?

Anyone actually know? tia
