LW 5 is slow loading incomplete & shared files. LW 5 does not like having many of each. Alternative would be to downgrade to LW 4; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...0-5-later.html mentions how, 'if' you chose that option.

Check your firewall: OSX Firewall settings for Tiger/Leopard

The file downloading problem. This seems to be a common issue with LW 5 compared to LW 4. It suggests LW has detected a corruption & is attempting to re-download the missing or corrupted parts but having difficulty doing so. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...wards-why.html notes were for LW 4. Unfortunately if you cancel a download in LW 5, it will also delete the incomplete file. LW 4 did not do that. But go to the incomplete file, see if it plays from start to finish. If yes, remove it from the incomplete folder first, then cancel it from download window. To get to the incomplete folder in LW 5: Select the file in the download window, choose View file info, then in the information window, click on the Locate on Disk link. That will take you to the incomplete folder, highlighting the incomplete file. Then open it & play to see if it is ok.

Example is for windows, but same thing applies:



If the incomplete file does not play ok. Then choices are to continue downloading, or to look for an alternative.
