Angry Help Me... I've fallen and can't get up!

Hello,

I keep seeing files that come up when I do a limewire search (latest version), it shows a ton of them, but I can't download them.

It keeps saying waiting for 1 busy or waiting in line position xx. I get to position 1 and wait and then it tries connect when the slot becomes open (I guess) then it just goes back to waiting for 1 busy. Sometimes it will say that it is downloading a file at 0kb/per second, for like and hour, but no data transfer is taking place.

I know my Limewire works as I download/upload files all the time. I'm just wondering why I keep finding these phantom files. Sometimes I'll find the same file from several seperate sources. I'll even be able to "browse host" on them and try downloading it from the host. Yet it doesn't download for anything. Are these hosts just tying up my computer? Is there something I can do to get these files? Is there some way of finding out which files are downloadable? I've tried just about everything... disconnecting, reconnecting, more specific searches, changing my "search quality" option to only show 4 star results, browsing hosts, force IP, not forcing IP, apologizing to my IP for trying to force it in the first place, even verbally abusing my keyboard. Nothing works!

So put down your strawberry frogurt and help me. You can see that I have no clue as to what I'm doing. I could ask the RIAA, but when it comes to finding good music they've never helped anyone.

Sicnerlry, (@#$#ing keyboard!)
