Angry Can't Download Songs

This is so frustrating.
I bought LimeWire Pro about 2 months ago. The first 35 songs or so downloaded great. And now I can't get ANYTHING to download. I got 2 started, an they are at 22% and 29% and now it won't load anymore. Says "Awaiting Download" or "Connecting" or "Need More Sources" depending on what I do to try to get it revived.
Why is this?? It's annoying to pay money for something that doesn't work any better than the free version {which did the same thing}!!!

The users either with the specifics of those particular downloads haven't been online with their p2p recently or else they are fake files.

And there is nothing I can do about this? I just checked back {after abour 24 hours} at one finally recently loaded and the other is stuck again at 59% but was loading from 5 sources when I looked at it.

If it's connecting for more than one minute then chances are it's a fake (but will be at zero % downloaded.)

If files go into Queued mode, you can use the resume button to help, LW has in recent months introduced a bug where queued files do not continue when they could. O.o

If you have a large number of incomplete files, then it is wise to do this: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link). You will notice a fresh difference after you do.

Alot of the files are "Unknown" on Bitzi. It's like Texas Country & Red Dirt music, nothing like pop music or very popular. Maybe that's why?

Hmmm it's working fairly decent now though. I have about 5 loading.

Thank you so much for the tips! Glad I found this place, I don't feel so lost with LW. =P

I am going to that link now.
