Question Downloads not completing

Hey, I'm brand new to Limewire and this site so I'm not sure how to create a post so sorry if this isn't 100% relevant to yours. I have a question: I just downloaded Limewire a few days ago and on my first try was able to download two songs. Excited, I went in to download more, which worked all the way until they were 95% downloaded and then it would say "connecting with PnP users" or "waiting in line" or something. What I can do to completely download another song? Anyone, please help.

Post moved from BearShare section.

Which version of LW are you using?

Maybe the host that you were downloading from went offline before your download finished. If you're waiting in line then you're in a queue for that download & have to wait until the host has a free upload slot (so that you can download).
Sometimes you just have to be patient. But if downloads are taking too long to resume, you can start a new search for the file... sometimes that will kickstart a stuck download. Other times it might just be quicker to kill the current download, search again & download from a different host.

If you're new to LW, start off by reading the FAQ & User Guide below (click on links).
