not sure if this has been covered in old thread.
have downloaded files successfully to 100% but it says that they're still downloading. this means that if they don't have the preview facility then they can't be viewed.

so the status says: downloading from one host, the progress says 100% and the speed says 0KB/s but i can't view it! i am using limewire 4.12.6

these are video files that i paused over night and then reconnected several hours later to finish off downloading. other files i've started today have been fine i think. is that relevant?

any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Did you go to the Incomplete folder and try to see whether the file is actually complete? I had this once or twice that the file showed not to be finished, yet when watch from the Incomplete folder it turned out to be finish; so I just closed :LW and moved the file to a different folder.

it IS in the incomplete folder but its not playing. its a video file on media player as an .avi file which i've usually got no problem with as i'm using windows xp.

no one else has this problem then???

WMP seem to have a problem with unrendered files. Try the free VLC media player with built-in codecs. It will surely be able to play the file to see whether it is complete or not:

tried that, it didn't work.

i've downloaded previous video files successfully since then so i'm guessing i might have to just forget about these two. wasted a day of downloading!
