Limewire's requery is simply another way to try and get a file that is not immediately available.
Another program you might want to try is edonkey2000 It's a stupid name for a program, but I seem to get better results, atleast in finding and downloading TV show episodes. The most annoying thing is that you can have only part of a file and someone can download that part from you, so you'll be sharing a file that you can't even see yet because you don't have all of it. It still takes a long time to get files sometimes, but the more networks you try, perhaps the better your chances of getting the things you want.
