The other songs are all "Waiting on Busy Host". Is this cos they are all being downloaded from the same host? How can I make it download more from this host simultaneously? I already changed the simultaneous download setting in Options, but that didn't change it.

check your presets again maybe your connection speed sucks
if you are using a dial up modem it will be very slow
also its good to filter out the 99cent buy music legally spam garbage that comes through.

Waiting on Busy Host is just Limewire's other term for "wait let me check if you can download this song" if it takes too long, cancel the download and forget about it. and you can download more than 3 songs simultaneously...it just happen that in your case the other songs says that waiting on busy busy host...

Everybody's doing it and I don't know anybody who has ever gotten in trouble. If it was really illegal then it would be shutdown. They found a loophole somewhere. If you really feel guilty, just pay the 19 bucks for the Pro version. And as far as getting carried away who cares how many songs? I have downloaded 500 in a day. And a tip if you don't leave them in a share folder people will not let you download from them. If you don't share it's not fair. If everybody hid their files there wouldn't be anything to download.

In LimeWire, go to Tools on the menu bar, click Options, and then click on Downloads on the left side. On the right side you will see "Maximum Downloads". The default is 3. The more you are downloading at one time the slower each one will download.

LIMEWIRE IS AWSOME I CAN DOWNLOAD UPTO AT LEAST 100 SONGS AT ONCE! NO KIDDING JUST CHECK THE SETTING!! Just go to Limewire then Click on Tools then Options then Downloads and set how much downloads at once you would like to allow! By default it was 3 but now i changed it to 300.

If the message is "Waiting on Busy Host" then there's really nothing you can do, short of tracking down the host(s) and forcing them to turn on their computers, which is not really a viable (or logical) course of action.

No clue but an easy way to resolve this is just research for the songs an download from someone else.

you must have your download setting set on 3. there is a setting for allowing a certain amount of downloads and uploads at a time. check this setting..

If you are downloading from one individual, he may have a limit of three uploads at a time and that would limit you
