if you highlight the file and select .. I think it is "find more sources for download" Limewire will search for the file and if found will download it. In certain circumstances, it is better to do a fresh search for the file and start a fresh downoad. I hope this helps

Whenever I get that I find it's best to just do another search.

i agree with CyberStalker - the best thing is to search again... or try again later.

I agree mostly ... On occasions a download will stop for some reason, often from a slow host, and selecting find more hosts will imediately restart the download. It is on these occasions that I wish Limewire could tell the difference between a slightly held up download and a sourse that has totally dissappeared

I'm curious about the difference between "need more sources" and "awaiting sources" ?

If starting over is the right thing to do for "need for sources" is awaiting sources worth holding your breath on?

No big deal just curious

Awaiting sources means that, in theory, if sourses appear LW will start downloading them automatically.

Need more sourses means that you must manually activate the find more sourses feature, or make a new search.

Either way making a fresh search may well be your best course of action ..

I hope this explains it.
