Ah--the "stuck download." When that happens I know something is wrong--I watch now to see if that relates to getting a file from certain hosts. Whatever the reason, when repeat search doesn't work select the download in the download pane, use the kill download button, and redownload form the new search results. If I haven't had a recent crash, the download will usually start and resume from where it left off. If it was a rarer file, it might be weeks before the host machine gets back on the net when I'm searching.

Sorry for the interruption Johnnn. Carry on
