Linux Download question

I installed LimeWire on a Gentoo linux box, and all seems to be working okay. I have only one question though. When I pick say, 10 files from one host, that are only found on that host, the first one downloads at a good clip, then nothing happens, and the other 9 files just sit there saying "Awaiting Sources". If I re-run the search, suddenly, the next file starts downloading, then the same things happens with the 8 files left... Shouldn't LimeWire be checking on these files perodically to see if the host is able to allow a download? I am assuming that the other 9 files are getting a "busy signal" while the first one downloads, but I would think after the first one finishes, the next one should start up pretty soon after that. I have waited as long as an hour, and nothing happens till I re-run the search, then ... BAM.
