Hi,

Im very new to file sharing and have been recommended shareaza for downloading movies and music. Also, because it downloads bittorrents (which I told is a good thing ).

Yesterday when I was downloading it was flying but after I switched my machine off, then back on (a few hours later) and left it downloading through the night all the downloads that were flying earlier hadnt budged and they all just said 'pending'. I have tried leaving it running for a few hours today and its just the same.

Can anybody clarify what pending means (well, in relation to shareaza ) and why, once interupted, the downloads decide to stop? Cheers

Martyn
