I'm sorry LimeWire does not work for you. The "Awaiting Sources" message is a part of LimeWire's new automatic loser detection, which identifies users who don't show enough appreciation for LimeWire and stops the downloads.

I remember the days of napster very well and if you think it was so much better, how about using one of the Napster clones that are still working: OpenNap still uses the same technology and SoulSeek (created by Nir Abel, one of Napster's original deveopers) uses a slightly enhanced version of Napsters concept.

I promise you they will refresh your memories of how reliable Napster downloads really were.
