I knew what you were referring to, but Limewire 4.18.8 was the problem, not the downloads. The upgrade was randomly corrupting incomplete files when I properly closed it. EVERY file ended up corrupted eventually. I never got a complete download with it.

BTW, I wouldn't upgrade if I were you.

I used LW 4.18 & the alpha on a different system. It seemed to be ok. But I haven't used it that much, was only for testing.

Cant use limewire anymore
 

Been using Limewire for years now all my downloads jump back after a certain point , cant be bad files , tried downloading a second cope of 5 avi films i already have completed .Downloaded latest version 5 and then uninstaled it and went back to 4.18 and did this twice on each version so thats ruled out also. I dont see the point in continuing to download as problem starts above 30% or 40% . tried everything from the poasting and nothing works .Pls anyone that can help , i would miss the program after all this time but i realy cant see anyway round it .

You're trying to download the exact same files right? I've had that problem with particular files. Each time I'd end up with the same corrupt file no matter which host I tried to find. However, I know eventually I did find a decent copy of one at least. Why this happens, I don't know. Perhaps due to the uploader's firewall/security, or the file they have is corrupt or an ISP in between is somehow affecting things.

Is the fault at the user's end? It could possibly be ... an over aggressive AV program or router that is not parsing data properly (this could be happening at the uploader's end too.)

I do remember one suggestion for corrupt files was to delete your preferences folder. I'm not sure this will fix things every time however.

And yes, download % dropping back is related to a corrupt file message. However if you clicked yes to continue & clicked the option to always use that answer, then you would not see that pop up window again, thus seeing files go backward in % might take you by surprise. ;) You can revert popups to default in your settings. ;)

I dident click yes to always use answer and i dont get message .From about 55 downloads i got none past the point of 47% some drop back after 30 to 40% .I tried some downloads from the same source and film that i had from weeks ago and altho they are perfect copies i now get to a point and then back again up to 3% .I changed nothing at all and have been using limewire for years daily , the problem started for no aparent reason and not its total and seems permanent whatever i try , i did have a few films do this about a year ago however just a few not all like now and the problem righted itself this time its been a couple of weeks .

Sorry i should aslo point out that i play every download regularly and theres never a problem just clicking review and playing , i make note of time it plays to and when the % drops back so does the time it plays , the % is often wrong also , i had 335mb from a 699mb file and it said 46%

I've been using the 4.16 retrograde for many months now without any problems. I suggest you do it too.

I can't get 5.0 Pro to do more than 10 downloads at a time, any suggestions?

At present that is a limitation. It might change in a later version. ;)
