I'm confused. Isn't that what YOU wrote:
simply... it means yer in a line-up and you have to wait until everyone ahead of you is served before you have any hope of even beginning yer download.

That's the bad news... there is no good news

I thought of something last night. I think I come here too much, because I thought of it while I was trying to go to sleep!

Anyway, have you looked at the Connection Tab to see if you're connected? Sometimes when I start LimeWire, all my downloads will say queued. Then after connecting to a few hosts, they will either start downloading or go to requery. But if they all say queued, then I think it's more than just waiting in line.

And in the newer versions, doesn't it usually tell you where you are in line if you are actually "in line"?

Anyway, just a thought.

If it never changes and you are connected, you may want to try rolling back to an older version. I think people had the least problems with 2.7.13. And in the thread I mentioned on the first page of this thread, the guys are discussing how bad Gnutella is right now. Nobody is having much success downloading these days.

If you want to try an older version, here's a link to all the older versions. I would recommend 2.7.13.

No guarantees, though, on successful downloading!

Good luck, bubbafish.

thank you. I will try that.

Good luck, Brooke. Let us know how it goes.

just for the record: I have seen some queued files start downloading. Not many, but it has happened.

Hmmmm... ever seen any finish downloading??

every time i go to download an image i can not find it when it is done!!!!! where the hell is it ??

queue because there is limited download slot in limewire, if it hits the limite, it will be put in a queue.

no offence but if its that urgent there are these great - oh-so ueseful things called dictionary's. I cant believe u dont know what queued means. Come now, if u "queue" up in line, ur waiting for someone else to finish before it is ur turn right? consider now that perhaps this definition also expands to cover that of songs, waiting in line to be downloaded. The song is queueing, preparing itself, awaiting for the signal to download. Seriously, get off the net and buy a book, - I suggest the oxford dictionary.
