Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

hi ukool ,

I find a lot of downloads get no further than the awaiting sources stage. Some are for the reason that the host has gone offline, or for some technical reason, a download is not possible, ..... but, I am fairly sure that the majority are fake files which will never download.

If the files go to awaiting sources, I usually scrap them and re-search, and generally find what I'm looking for, and that is what I advise you to do.

Some very rare files I will keep in my download window, and once in a while they will download after a week or ten :), but the files have to be very rare indeed for me to do that.

This link might help. You haven't said if you generally have success downloading, or what type of files you are looking for, but I hope you find it useful http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...13&postcount=2

I hope I helped a bit :)

Usually when you see awaiting sources you can select Find Sources and it will try to find them...
Need More Sources is usually a sign of Fake Files....:blink:

Hi WW I hope you are well and many congratulations on the Mods position. Well deserved! :D

Just to clarify a bit. If a file cannot connect it will show Needs More Sources, and in my experience, you need to activate Find Sources, manually,and only after the coundown has finished, will the Awaiting Sources message appear. Then you can press Resume, but i seldom see that do anything useful.

One thing i didn't mention, which does help a lot, was that re-searching rather than resuming, the files awaiting sources will often trigger them into downloading as Limewire seems to search better with the manual push. :)
