Unavailability of Searched Files

[dekles]

Although I have been using LimeWire for a long time now, without, I have to say, any problems, I am at a loss to understand how it is possible for me to make a search for a specific file, and on trying to access a successful result, find that the file is not available, with messages like 'Awaiting Sources' or 'Need More Sources'.

If the file is not available, how can it show in the search results? Surely only files currently available should be shown in search results?

Forgive my ignorance - I am not a computer expert, and i assume I have either wrong settings, or am doing something wrong

Any advice/information gratefully received.
