because it ran out of sources and it doesn't look for more sources on its own.

see above

If the developers tell me that the "automatic" feature is something that only the LimeWire Pro version has but the plain vanilla version does not, then I will consider supporting the product's development (once again) by paying for LimeWire Pro.
The pro version does not have this but one of the next versions might re-introduce that feature in one or the other form.
