Default Wait or Forget it.

There is no way to 'fix it' since there is probably nothing wrong. The files you are looking for may belong to people who have not logged on to Limewire for a long time and so there is no way you can download from them. You have to wait until they log on.

Okay, Thanks guys.

I've been very frustrated with this.

Robert the Bruce: That explains a lot. I can see how that can effect a download that another user is wishing to download.

wondering why: Thanks for the link. After reading the information. I understand most things. Thank you very much.

All in all, I'll just stop downloding from LimeWire for awhile for this reason. Then go back to another web site that I know of for more music and movies. Hopefully they'll have them.

Good luck to you and BTW remember that people uninstall Limewire all the time once they've had their fill, that could be another reason.
