Default Awaiting Sources Problem HELP!

I have been using Limewire for a very long time, but for the last week or so, all my download of video attempts immediately go to either awaiting sources or need more sources and they never download... I understand what awaiting means, but I have never had this be a problem , in the past.. It never changes, regardless of how many search results I get or what I try.. I know that others are are uploading form me just fine, because I see them in the monitor...

Has something changed that could be causing this?

I have windows xp, a cable modem, the latest free version of limewire...

I am sure that 2 of them are good files because they partially loaded last week and the preview is good, but since then it will not allow any downloads, and it appears the uploads have stopped as well..

I do have a brick wall in front of the globe, the monitor at the bottom shows 0.0 for both up and downloads..

1. System details - help us to help you (click on link)

2. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 (try both) in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)
