I did have one file that made it as far as 35ish% before deciding it was corrupt - but most (around 10 now) die showing 0% (but these are large files).

I have both version 1.4 Java and the earlier 1.3something installed. I assume that LimeWire is using the 1.4 version since my mouse wheel is working in LimeWire.

It is difficult to tell after the event whether LimeWire was swarming in all cases. It certainly was swarming on at least a couple of the files - but I /think/ that it wasn't swarming on all the ones that failed.

I've selected Cable/DSL and disabled Ultrapeer. Theoretically, my connection is 576kbps down and 288kbps up.

Yes - most of the files were started in 2.3.3 - nearly all failed files should have been restart attempts - however, no downloads have started at more than 0% - It looks like all files are being restarted from scratch. Given this I have just deleted all of my incomplete files and started again from scratch. Having done this (maybe 20 minutes ago) - I have 1 file failed as corrupt at 0% - I don't know if it attempted to swarm, it failed almost immediately after I started the download.
