When you say it doesn't show up at all, do you mean in the search results window?

If you were downloading at 0kpbs, LW thinks you're actually getting the file. Hence, "you are already downloading the file" (an exact copy). If it's a different copy with the same filename, you get the choice to change name, append #, etc.

Seems to me that you are impatient to get the file. If it's not showing up in search results (which is where the "get more results" comes in), then you might try closing LW completely, and the restarting it, search again. You'll be hooked up with different peers - who may have the file you want.

If that fails you should try a torrent search. LW will handle the dl for you. Search torrent sites, find your songs, click 'download this torrent', when dialog box appears choose 'open'. The filename will then appear in your LW downloading box. Remember, more seeds = faster downloads. LW will manage 3 or 4 torrents at the same time.

I told you that multiple postings will not get you faster results. They do, however, flood my mailbox (while I was responding to a neighbor's medical emergency - I'm an EMT). So which one of us sucks? Send me another "bump" or other useless message and you can forget about help from me.
