Could you try searching for a popular files (with a search like "amv .avi") and download that one?

Does this one also stay on "waiting"?

Also, in the lower left corner of the Phex window there's a small earth-ball. Do you see a red wall of bricks in front of it?

If yes, you need to open up your firewall to get better connectivity. While your firewall blocks you, you can only download from people who have opened their firewall, which sadly is only about 1/3rd of the network (or so, just a guessed number from experience).

Hi there, I have the same problem, I can search and find and commence download, but it shortly turns to "waiting". I have no small earth-ball on the lower left of my screen, and it's showing that I have 5 connections. I'm on an apple though, is there a way to 'open the firewall' somehow?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
