Homeand-dry, I dont think you are doing anything wrong. When it says remotely queued it generally means that the other party has received your request and that the download will commence when enough resources are free (on his end). He probably has too many files downloading at once to other users. Your download will start when the download count goes below his max set number. At least that is how I think it works.
I too am looking for a particular program, The Fifth Estate a Canadian show. I am trying to get a copy of the episode dealing with the Child Molestation problem among JWs called Spiritual Shepards. Kazaa can be a pain in the ass, I tried to find that program when a few posters had it up and all I got back when I searched was a bunch of audio files called the Fifth Estate. I should just write my own program with an improved search but Im just to lazy.
Dont know who may have your files archived, but dont feel bad about not being particularly net savvy, Ive been on the net since around 1974-75 long before there was a www anything ( it was called Arpanet / Milnet back then) and its still sometimes confusing to me even now. Back then there was only a few types of people on the net: universities (high energy physics labs aka bomb researchers), some military type people, defense contractors, and a handful of early hackers. Ill give you a hint of what group I fell into. Hint, I was not in the military, and at the time I was not yet in college J .
As far as FTP goes, this is simply a file copy program, just another basic way to move files across the net from one computer to another. You could simply type ftp into a search engine and you will likely find information on how to use this program. You could also open up a dos window on your PC and type FTP and then when you get the FTP> prompt type ?. This should show you some of the more common commands available.
Hope that helps a little.
