Hello!
The Requery Sent message means that the situation is the following:
The host has recently turned off his/hers client and his/hers files are no longer available on the network for you to download.
The host you are trying to download from is a cheater and has set his/hers preferences to allow for 0 upload slots and no one will be able to download from that host.(this condition does not always result in the requery message sometimes you get into download status but continously stays at 0K)
You are both behind a Firewalled connection and on private subnetwork of IP addresses.
The host you are trying to download from are to busy and are using a bad client that do not report the busy status to you so that you get the busy signal or Waiting in Line signal.
The Requery Sent basically means that LimeWire will continue to search for the file in question but it will only do so for about once every 45 minutes.To speed this process up you should leave the file there in the download section and not kill it and then whenever you during a download process gets that message as soon as possible do a new manual search by using the exact search term as the file name in question and hopefully LW will see new hosts to download the same file and if that is the case it will download it from there(them) instead.
When you minimize the LW application to the System Tray it will take a minimum amount of resources but if you have downloads in progress they will continue and if people are uploading from you they will be allowed to do so untill they have finished.If you gets disconnected of the actuall network when it is in the System Tray I am not sure but I do know that if it is then LimeWire will imediatelly connect when you maximize it hence the green dot.
One thing that you should be aware of though is that even if you shut down LimeWire completely(File>Close) you will still be downloading files if you where in the progress of doing so and also people would still be uploading files from you if they where doing so before you shut it down untill they have finished downloading from you.If you want people to definetly not be able to download from you then you have to shut down your Internet connection or change this in LW preferences(Tools>Options>Shutdown) and here select the shut down immediatelly option then click apply then OK.
