File Size: 0 bytes
 

I currently have LW 5 but before I upgraded, I had LW 4 and experienced this problem. When I downloaded some files they had a certain size of mb. After a couple of times on LW, I noticed the size of the files showed 0 bytes..it read 0 bytes of 0 bytes (0%) completed. Does this mean the people who had these files are long gone and therefore, the sources are gone or does it mean there was some other error with the files?

It means the files did not start to download. Unable to connect to host. You will see if they are downloading from the Downloads window. Once they reach 100% they will be transferred from incomplete folder to Saved/Shared folder. :)

yes but I have other files that never started and say 0 bytes of 20 mb completed for example and the ones I mentioned above say 0 bytes of 0 bytes completed.

That probably means you downloaded a fake file.
