Ok if I let LW run for a bit it will label all my downloads as "need more sources" or "awaiting sources". But if I exit LW and restart, all of a sudden it will start downloading stuff again right off. Then go back to need more sources and I have to restart again. I dont get it is there a bug in the software possibly. Or am I just doing something wrong. Can anybody tell me how to remedy this.

Refreshing the files helps. Doing a search for each one will definitely help with finding sources for the files to downld from. But accept it as part & parcel of LW (& most other p2p share programs) that you will end up with files that will not always downld easily for one reason or another.
My advice is to look at the following page & follow ALL the links within it: To continue files downlding (click on link) And you'll not only find immediate answers but pick up on some very handy skills. Once you master these tools you'll develop your own techniques for the most effective downld methods for your own system & set up.
