Stuck at 0kbs
 

I got this problem just yesterday. I was downloading the game ***** and everything was going smooth until it hit 96% and the download speed stopped at 0kbs. I checked the internet everywhere for an answer but nothing seems to help.

Additional Info:
I'm using Limewire Pro version 4.13.0
Im not exactly sure how to update it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Are you downloading the file from the gnutella network, or is it a torrent? 4.13 was the first LW version with BitTorrent support... LW isn't a good torrent client now & it was even worse in the early days ;)

If you're downloading a torrent, did you check the comments about the file before choosing to download the torrent? Depending on how many seeds (people who are uploading 100% of the file) are around, you might have to wait a while to get the last pieces.

If it's a Gnutella file, try a new search for the file name - see whether that gets things going again. Or right click on the file name in the download pane > search > search for keywords. See if that helps - if a new search finds the file then maybe it will resume.
Did you check the file with Bitzi before download (just to make sure that it's not a known bad file)?

That Pro version was released in 2006. So any Pro benefits would have expired ages ago.

So you can either choose to update to the latest basic version 5.2.13 (but before you do, please read this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...downloads.html ), update to a newer basic version (as shown in the link above), buy Pro again or keep your current Pro version.

If you do decide to update or buy Pro again, keep in mind the resuming of incompletes as shown in the link above :)

And if buying Pro, remember to buy only from the official site: Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire

Well there at at least 2 or more hosts (are they the same as seeders?) so I don't think that is the problem. There are 8 hosts im downloading from most of the time. It isn't a virus or anything of the sort either.

It isn't a Gnutella file and if I upgrade to a newer Limewire will it help anyway? Also the link you sent doesn't work. (The resuming downloads one)

Thanks for the reply though. I'm eager to get it finished but without starting all over again.

Sorry, try the link again - it should work now.

It isn't a Gnutella file - so it's a torrent? Did you check the comments before downloading the file, to see whether anyone else had trouble downloading?

Try going back to the original torrent site & choose to download the same file again. See whether that kickstarts the download. LW really isn't a good torrent client.

Thanks for the fix.

No it's a torrent file and there were only 3 comments from the uploader:

So there are no problems but no thanks either. I tried downloading the torrent again but it just says 'you are already downloading this file'. I know LW isn't a good torrent downloader but it was the only thing I had at the time and I didn't feel like getting anything else just for 1 file.

Are there any other options at all? I saw a few suggestions about ports though I have no idea how they work.

Edit: I tried following the guide but I must of made a mistake. I upgraded to the newest Limewire Pro but I lost that file. I truly screwed myself over this time.

Thank you very much Birdy for trying to help :).

Yes, since you lost the file, you have the golden opportunity to switch to a proper BitTorrent client.

Torrent - a (very) tiny BitTorrent client or Vuze: The most powerful bittorrent app in the world.

I just got BitTorrent before I saw your post Sleepless. I was thinking of getting uTorrent but it's all about the same.
