Download problem: downloads have been stalling at 95%

[SandyW]

My downloads have been stalling at 95% and I don't seem to get beyond that point? I use Windows XP. What am I doing wrong and how can I complete my downloads?

Are these Torrent or Gnutella network files?

Best method is to re-search the files as you did when you were originally searching for them. In that way you can find fresh hosts of the files. Also 5-10 mins later, right-click the search tab & choose Find More Results. _ The Fix Stalled option basically only attempts to search for the hosts it was originally downloading from, so if they are offline or busy you are stuck.

This problem has occurred several times using several different source users.....and retrying or searching over again appears to bring the same results.....stalling at 95% every time...

Try this: right-click each of those downloads & choose Change Location. Move the download to a different partition or hard disk drive.

Sorry, you lost me when you got to the part about partition....and move to hard disk drive. I've had a computer a long time, but never did get the hang of a lot of technical jargon, etc........But I'll try and give it a shot. Thanks for your suggestions!

Means Right-click the file in the download window. From the pop-up window that shows, choose Change Location .. then browse your computer ... if your files are normally going to Drive C where personal files usually are, then change to Drive D or E or F, etc.
Means you'd need to go upward in directory from your default download location.

In example image below, could choose Drive E (Local Disk E) instead as an alternate place to download to.

When I right click on file in download window, I am able to select Choose new location, as suggested; but when the pop up window opens, I see Drivers but nothing happens when I right click or left click on drivers.....what am I doing wrong?

Even though I create a new file, Local Disk (E) for my download to now go to, I am still getting a stall at 95%. Is this because I have created something I didn't have before or some other reason?

[Peerless]

is this for ALL downloads?...every single one?

[SandyW]

Yes, this just started happening a week or so ago.......all downloads! Before that no problems downloading. In between, I did upgrade to the most recent LimeWire Basic version.....
