Perrioli, my downloads are still going strong and aren't stalling after re-starting my computer.

Not only that but I found the old downloads I had to delete because they got stuck and they are back to downloading too....so it's all good news.

Im staying with Limewire 4.14.8.

Thanks Retro. Is that the pro or basic version?

Basic version.

I have windows vista, but now limewire doesn't work! I begin a search and click on the song I want but no download window appears, can anyone help with this problem? thanks in advance if you can.

Ah, I've had this problem too, I've just posted in a thread called negative downloading as some of my files are going backwards. I use the free version of Limewire, just upgraded to version 4.16 and thinking about it it is a file that was downloading when I did the upgrade that's having problems... but I realised that and deleted it (completely, from the recycle bin of my computer as well) and started again. The file I'm after is stuck at 52%... sometimes it gets up to 54%, but then always goes back down to 52% again - it's been like that for a week or so now, and I leave my computer on to download overnight most nights!

I was beginning to wonder whether it was my ISP... but you can't exactly go and ask them can you?! I'm intrigued by the Magnetmix.com suggestion. Since I can only download overnight due to only having unlimited downloads between midnight and 8am (when I'm usually asleep!) I can't download from a website as that's not enough time to download a whole film. What would happen to it when my computer automatically goes onto standby just before 8am? And could I pause it when I re-start my computer in the evening on getting home from work, until I could start it again after midnight? I only have a 1GB download limit/month during the day so one film would use up most of this on its own!

I just recently downloaded LimeWire & at first it was working great until suddenly every file I tried downloading, an Error window would pop up saying that "You are already downloading this file" When obviously I am not. Has anyone else had this problem before!?

Re. my post 2 above this, I now seem to have solved my problem of video files getting stuck and even going backwards (despite a week of leaving my computer on overnight at reasonable 25kbps download speeds) by uninstalling Limewire version 4.16 and re-installing 4.14 from the link someone provided in the list above. FYI it was only video files I was having trouble with, audio files seemed fine. The two video files that were stuck at 42 and 52% respectively are now both up in the 60% range! I will report back in a few days and see if they have finished downloading.

weird things are happening to me when I try to download files...I installed for the first time limewire starting with the 4.16.6 version. Now while downloading, I have a file that has reached 22% and despite showing a downloading speed since quite long, isn't moving at all. Another one is bangi jumping from 10% to 11% and back. Right now the 22% file went back to 21%....!!!! It looks like they cannot get any further. Did anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks

See my post just above, I had the same problem, this seems to be a problem with the new version of Limewire - use the link helpfully provided by someone earlier in this thread to download the slightly older 4.14 version of Limewire and this has solved the problem for me.

Does anyone else get the problem though that if you pause a download, the whole of Limewire will freeze up and can only be closed via Task-manager? If I find a rare file I want to download now when all my download slots are already full I now find it's simpler to delete the download I want to pause from the list and then find it in my list of incomplete files and resume it - works the same but is rather "round the houses". Obviously another bug in the system that needs ironing out!

thank you....I did download the older version and it works fine...
