Follow the suggestions in the link in my previous post. Also, you can continue dwnlds by pressing the Resume button. I only do this as a last resort. The reason is b/c it sucks up connection energy & affects your overall connection to the gnutella network. Some of the files you chose to dwnld may be from difficult to connect users. They might be busy much of the time or just difficult to connect to. The reasons for difficulty in connecting to particular sources are many. Best answer is usually to search for more sources to find alternatives. Do it at the right time & yo can be lucky (if there's not many sources for that file & it's a difficult source to connect to.)
