I have been using for several weeks with great success.

Recently I have been getting several files that are at 99% and appear stuck. They downloaded very quickly, but once reaching 99% they slowed to speeds of 0 kb/s and connected to 6 or 7 hosts!!! when i compare file sizes in the incomplete folder, they are only a few bytes from being finished.

How can I fix this and get these files to finish?

Thanks

What software are you talking about?

Limewire.

perhaps I posted to the wrong forum.

Occasionally the files get "stuck" from some sources. Just kill the download from the downloads pane, and try redownloading from new sources. The file should pick up where it left off

Yeah man, i have almost the same problem. The files did past 99% a 100 times! then, when it will verifie the file, it passes 200%! And then when i re-start LW, it begins again on 99%.



Just kill the download from the downloads pane, and try redownloading from new sources.

STIEF, How can i do that?

Hmm-- Your situation sounds a bit different salimrmaf. It reminds me of problems with verification seen with older versions. Are you using LW 4.8.1?

Anyway, when you click on the stuck download in the downloads panel, there should be a button below labeled "clear" (or kill, or stop, or something like that). Your version of LW might even allow the use of the delete key.

Once the file no longer shows in the downloads panel, just do another search and start the download again. It should automatically pick up that the file is already in the incomplete folder, and complete it.

If not, try playing the incomplete file the next time LW is quit. It might be good enough: just don't share that file back to the network.
