When using Napster, Sometimes I see remotely queued when trying to download. What does that mean? How do you set it up? ---

I think it means either that you have reached your maximum download number or the person you are downloading from is not quite ready to upload. I could be wrong though. ---

You can set the maxium number of uploads, this keeps the people you are uploading to from slowing you down to a crawl. The default is three simultaneous downloads. To set yours go to “file,preferences,downloading” ---

No, you hitting your max downloads lends to a ‘queued’ setting. THEM hitting their max # of uploads leads to the ‘remotely queued’ setting. Switch to another user. –Tim
