Hello!

Dont give up on downloads to easy.Before killing a download you should do the following:
If you get the busy waiting for signal just wait untill the seconds has counted down to 49 seconds then if it still has not started to download highlight the file in the download list and click the force resume button multiple times and then once again wait until the seconds has reached 49.If it still refuses to download then you will probably not get the file and you should highlight the file and click the kill download button and it will stop trying to download it and drop the connection.

If you get the Requery sent message then if you are desperate to get that file just leave it there for several hours and about once every hour do the exact same search as you did before and eventually you will get the file.This is because LW will try to connect to the same host all the time but about once every 45 minutes it attempts to find new hosts to download the file from and if it finds one it will start the download but LW will also imediatelly try to download the file if it turns up in one of your searches so keep searching for it once every hour.

But if you get the the Requery Sent message and are not particulary desperate for it then you can just kill it by clicking the Kill Download Button.

IF you are using this method that I have described above and you are still getting only a 2% success rate(my success rate is about 25%) then something is definetly wrong with either your copy of LimeWire,The JRE,or your ISP or maybe the settings in your OS.

My advice would be that you update your Java Runtime Environment and LimeWire(the 2.5.X final version will soon come out).
