When I try to download certain files I get a message that says “Waiting for 1s busy. What does that message mean?
The “Waiting for 1s busy” message occurs when the server refuses your download because it is too overloaded. In other words, demand outstrips supply. LimeWire will continue to retry the download as long as it gets the busy signal. If you’re willing to wait long enough, you’ll probably get the file. A good way to avoid this problem is to take advantage of LimeWire’s “grouping” feature, which puts similar files into folders. After you search, click on the “location” column to sort results by location. Files marked “multiple (N) are available from N locations. Try downloading these files first. When you try one of these “smart” downloads, LimeWire will try all the locations one after the other, making these downloads much more likely to succeed.
