LW drops sources as a file nears completion. This frees up sources for others to d/l from but sometimes the file will get stuck at or near 100%. Try shutting down LW and restarting it. That usually prompts the files to finish.

If that doesn't solve it, go to the Incomplete folder and check the file size. It might have already finished the download and just hasn't shown it. If it is a media files, try to listen/watch it moving to its end to see whether it is complete.

A torrent file......?....

Well, you should have mentioned that earlier....

Unfortunately, I haven't used the torrent function that often yet with LW...

How many seeders did the file have? If it were only a few then it can well be that you do have to be a bit more patient......though that's rather a guess of mine based on my experience with torrents.

Maybe letting it run over another night or two might get you the missing 1 %.
