patience

usually needing more resources means that the person doesn't have the full song or they only "look" like they're sharing that file. you may have to wait till another user with that same file comes online to actually d/l that file yer looking for. also you may not be the only person trying to retrieve that file from that user so you could very well be in queue. i'm not 100% sure on how Limewire has their d/l'ing policy.. i've heard of other clients taking multiple resources for a file as to keep bandwidth use for users to a minimum.
with all that said: Long Live OpenNap!

ok cause i seem to haveing the same trouble could be that the user is blocking me from d/l from them?
and i have one more question before i used to d/l a afile and on the left hand side you can see a open yellow folder stating that you'r d/ling that file but now i cant seem to see that folder its quite useful so you dont red/l the same file again anyway i can see the folder again..

Hi theonlyq :)

I don't know much about Limewire, but there was quite a large thread regarding it a while back, that may be of some interest to you :)
