I don't know if I'm allowed to mention other P2P programs here, so if you must, delete this post if I shouldn't have.

And I'm sorry if this sounds like an attack, if it does, it's not intentional and I don't mean it to but -

LOTR - Resuming a download from the original sources? Sorry, any other P2P will seek out new sources during the course of a download session for example "WinMX" will seek out new sources every 10 minutes and if it finds new sources you'll get multiple streams, just like Limewire, so I don't know why Limewire would just get stuck on a hump trying to resume from the original source host, do you? Mutliple point download is just that, if you're downloading from one individual and then he logs off, you shouldn't get stuck on a hump for days waiting for that individual to hook up again, should you? The program should just say, need more sources, not "Awaiting sources - queued - connecting - Awaiting sources" after you hit Resume.

What it should say is "Need more sources - searching - Need more sources", that's if it can't find that file on the network, not from the original source.

Or when you you go back to your computer the next day to see how your downloads are doing, if one of your downloads have stopped downloading the status pane should just be blank and that Resume button should say search when you click on the file you have partially downloaded that had stopped downloading.

Have you tried WinMX? I'm not saying it's better, but it will get results from multiple hosts for the same file even when one host disconnects you from their files, if that files available, it will pick up where the previous hosts left off and you'll continue to download.

I like Limewire, I think Limewire is one of the best P2P file sharing programs available, I just thought I would mention something that might make it even better.

I know if a file isn't available, well then, it isn't available, don't say I'm in queue and then put me back into the "Awaiting sources" limbo again, because searching and being in queue are two different things.
