why is it that certain things u try to download say "Could not download, awaiting more sources"??? Does this mean that it may begin downloading at any given time, even though its inactive???

It should say "have-tried-all-the-sources-and-known-alternates-for this-file-found-through-the-last-search-and-have-run-out-of-hosts-to-try,-so-find-more-sources-by-repeating-the-search-to-start-a-new-list-of-sources-to-try."

I think "repeat search needed" would be clearer. All you have to do is command-click on the search tab to bring up the option to "repeat search"

And, the automatic repeat search was removed a few versions back because it was abusing the network. If you want to read a lot of rants on that one---
