Thanks, Trap_Jaw4, for clarifying LimeWire's current feature capability. I vaguely remember that LimeWire did have that capability, so I was surprised when I found it lacking in this latest iteration of the software, which is why I posted my message seeking confirmation one way or the other.

Of course, it's unfortunate that LimeWire is not currently designed to seek out sources by itself on a periodic basis when a use is not able to be physically present at the computer.

I would like to see a feature/preference added in which I can tell LimeWire to automatically go search for more sources once a file I seek has been sitting in the status column in a "Need More Sources" or "Awaiting Sources" mode, say, for a user-definable period of minutes, say every 30 or 60 minutes.

That would eliminate my need to babysit LimeWire and be constantly present at the computer.

And, if LimeWire's developers promoted this feature right, it could be hyped as a key distinguishing feature separating the plain vanilla version from the PRO version. I would definitely pay for the PRO version, if this feature were (again?) integrated back into the product. I'd bet that millions of other users would, too.

So, what's stopping you, LimeWire developers?
