Default Connected, but won't download

I have some torrents downloading in LimeWire. They have been going strong for 2 days. Today, they stopped downloading. I am still connected to 50+ hosts on all 3 of the torrents, but my download speed is 0 KB/s. I am using Mac OS X 10.5 if it matters. Any ideas?

Thanks,
ross

This is Only a suggestion. Don't use Limewire as a Torrent Client. You said "Two days to download 3 Files" and still not complete. There's your Sign

Well the first two days were slow because of my internet connection. I moved location and went from 5% to 80% in about 12 hours (8GB files).

Well I have done a bit of researching and the general consensus was not to use LimeWire for torrents (which kinda sucks I like having only one program for everything). My problem is that my 8GB files are already 70% and 74% done. Is there a way to continue the downloads on another BitTorrent client without having to start them over? Or to get the download working again so I can finish these and just quit using LimeWire after this set? I have tried resetting LimeWire, my WiFi, even my computer. I am out of ideas.

On another client, what is a typical D/L time for a 8 GB file? Any suggestions?

Hey Ross AFAIK You Can't transfer the files. I would just keep trying with Limewire until they finish. I have had some luck just shutting Limewire down and resuming the downloads later. You might find, the files will have more seeders at different times of the day. Hope this helps.
