If you are using LimeWire 1.4, I would strongly suggest trying search results with 4 stars as quickly as possible after receiving the result.

The four stars indicates that the computer supplying that result is not behind and firewall and has available upload slots. These slots may become full, however, so uploading quickly will ensure that you obtain the available slot (note that this works out for everyone involved, as the computer you are downloading from will no longer return four star results to other people if you obtain their only available slot, so others will try other four star results).

If you are not using LimeWire 1.4, I would strongly suggest updating your LimeWire version.

I hope the helps.
