Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at near of page.) Make sure you remove the Downloads.dat file from this folder first before you do this!
After deleting the preferences folder, open LW only for a moment. Then close. Then re-add the Downloads.dat file to the new preferences folder.

Be careful in each step of doing this ! .. Make sure LW is not open .. and make sure you remove the Downloads.dat file before deleting the preferences folder. And only return the Downloads.dat file after you have closed LW after a short opening. This will retain your download history. Note: The Downloads.dat file might only be called Downloads in your preferences folder if extensions are hidden.

Perhaps, just in case of a mishap in the process, make a copy of the Downloads.dat file from your LW preferences folder. In that way you can always go back to that copy (save the copy to a different hard disk drive partition such as Drive E would be ideal!)

thanks for that, Just hope I don't mess things up

well, I tried but it hasn't worked. At the moment 3 downloads are stalled at 95% and supposed to be 'waiting next in line'. However, I could be waiting a long time (like forever!!) for the remainder of downloads as this is what's been happening for the past week.

ETA I think I'll remove LW and find another site because I'm simply wasting my time and downloads

Sound a little like an impatient person. If you've been using LW for a while & never seen files stall around 90+% then I'd be surprised. 3 downloads stalled is not exactly anything to panic about.

Gnutella is not a download site, it is a network that people share across. So the files you are downloading are from people just like you, me & the next person sharing their own files. :)

I am sorry to hear my suggestion to try did not work for you. Perhaps there is a bug with the present LW version, I don't know. You could always try an earlier version of course, or even another gnutella network client such as Phex, etc. :)

Another source is torrents of course, but for torrents I'd suggest either uTorrent or Vuse (previously called Azureus.)

Downloads stalling at 95%
 

to Lord of the Rings....sorry if I came across as impatient, you are right, I do have a low frustration level! Since your last post I tried other downloads from LW and they were successful without incident. I guess the ones I posted about must have been rather obscure pieces at best, so I just decided they weren't worth worrying about. Many thanks for all your suggestions.

Lord of the rings, thank you for your reply. I apologize if I came across as impatient. I've not been able to download for some time. All downloads stopped at 95% and there remained. I uninstalled LW and installed FW last evening and the songs which stalled in LW I was able to download without problems in FW. I don't know what went wrong with LW but there was obviously something not quite right. Maybe there was a bug in the system. I appreciate your input and thank you again for your help

yup. this is happening to me too :(
ima need help, please.

I tried all the suggestions that were posted but nothing would fix the problem. all music stuck on 95%. I then deleted LW and downloaded frostwire. No probs there, everything downloaded fine including the ones that were stuck. :xeri_ok1ani:
I only hope that others will still be able to upload music from my computer

Wow, some real a-holes in here. Anyone with half a brain cell can do 15 seconds of research and find out there are a LOT of people across the internet seeing this exact problem. ALL downloads stall at 95%. There's obviously something going on here, because it's always at 95%.

But I guess I am just impatient.

Well, no one seems to have found a solution as yet. I've uninstalled limewire and am not downloading it again. The program is too troublesome. FrostWire is good so far.
