This happened several times to me...

I get a download on, lets say, 70% and I play another game or something. When I come back at limewire, the download is back to 5%, sometimes running, sometimes not...

I always close LimeWire before I shut down, so it can save the file...

Is this a common problem? What can I do about it?

Yes this happens to me too. I don't know what it is but its really annoying... especially when you're waiting for that item to download and you realise its gonna take longer than ever.

That happened to me loads of times..I was downloading a film and it reached 93% then went down to like 12% then reached 96% and went down to 75% then reached 99% and stopped and wouldn't download anymore.

Really frustrating!

Another problem now, LimeWire runs for about 10 minutes. Then my whole computer becomes slow. After I close LimeWire, the computer works again.

Ultrapeer options are out and I don't have the bandwich use on 100%.

Could be that your downloads.dat file is currupted somehow. Try deleting the incomplete folder while Limewire is closed.

If that doesn't work then

Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

I would try deleting the preference folder before up****** the Java.
