I have used many different p2p programs in my time and unfortunately I have run into this problem with all of them. In my humble opinion this is just a nuisance you have to put up with on very rare occasions. Since this thread was posted I have been trying to reproduce the results. Out of 200 files downloaded I got it to happen once. I was choosing files to DL that were 4*,3*,2* and 1 to 2 sources many of which went to need more sources or wait in line about 65% all of the files have now completed. Which is surprising I did not expect that, must have been the luck of the draw. Any way I used the resume feature and I had one file that was at 98% after sitting idle for about 20sec. it started at 0% and within a couple of minutes was DL from 10 sources the original file was a 2* with 1 source which means to me that LW was probably grouping and found a similar file with abundant sources and dumped the first and started over. The file DL was the correct file content but I do not knot know if was the original file I started with. Any way if this is a bug it is a bug that is in all the p2p programs that I have used and I do not think it will ever be completely fixed in any of them. There are more serious issues such as memory leeks which make allot of people have troubles that will get more attention than one that only happens rarely to the masses.
