Hi, all.

This is the first time I've ever had a serious problem with Limewire in about 4/5 years of using it. I'm no computer genius, but I've been able to sort out any little issues I've had before.

Before I start moaning, I'll let you know I'm using Limewire 5.1.3 and am attempting to download the first two series/seasons of a TV show I used to watch (one I won't mention because it's pretty sad ).

So I manage to get them both downloading and S2 (18 episodes - 3.28GB) is taking much longer than S1 (12 episodes - 3.71 GB).

I think it was roughly two days ago that S1 reached 93%, while S2 was probably at about 35%!

But I wasn't too bothered because I was thinking S2 can finish downloading while I watch S1 over the next few days or so. However, at 93%, S1 decided it didn't want to go any further - just my look!

So it's about 48 hours down the line and S1 is still stuck at 93%. S2 meanwhile has caught up and is about 50% downloaded.

So here's where I'm getting really confused...

When I click on the 'Show All' link, I see my downloading items and it tells me S1 is downloading (at this very moment in time) at 0 KB/s from 1 person (though it has been up to 3 people and still made now difference).

S2 meanwhile is downloading at 37 KB/s from 2 people.

So to summarise, my problem download is S1. It says it's downloading, but only at a speed of 0 KB/s (which I'm certain means it isn't downloading at all). I've managed to get 93% of the way and was hoping somebody might be able to push me through that final 7%...

Any help (big or small) is greatly appreciated.

Hope that helps.

Use a proper torrent client. I would recommend Vuze or uTorrent. That way you would see if anyone has the whole torrent or there are only people with 93% completed.

Limewire isn't a good Bittorrent program.

Thank you very much, Sleepless.
