I guess the poster above didn't realize he/she was in a Limewire forum, not Gnucleus.

When the download is still active in your window, do the same type of search you did to obtain the download in the first place. If your search gets a hit to which it can connect, it does so automatically. You can do this as you download if you want to try for a swarmed (from more than one host at a time). Watch this with video, however, as it may leave blank frames at the seams. Swarmed downloaded mpg's can often be corrupted this way.

Once your download is inactive, then you are locked into the *exact* name of the file. Do a search for that particular name and hope that there are a few copies floating about.
