Hi everyone. I have been using Limewire for some time and have never had this problem before. I was downloading a few movies and they started moving backwards. (98% down to 89% etc...) Then they just sat there for about a day. It says downloading from 7 hosts and however many kb/s and such like it is downloading, but it is not moving exept for every once in a while it will back up a percent or 2. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

When things get stupid I uninstall and reinstall.

Mine is still going backwards.

One more thing however, this issue does not seem to affect my torrent downloads.

Only LimeWire specific downloads are being affected

Ive been having the same problem for a month now..have been continuously trying to download the same movie over and over..originally it was fine..was about 60 percent downloaded, and I decided to preview it..well, that did something and knocked it down to like 30 percent..then it seemed like it was never going to go any higher..so I cancelled it, deleted the incomplete file, and tried again..and have tried a few other times since then..for two or three days at a time,itll fluctuate between two different percents, before eventually getting past that and going up one..but Im beginning to think it may be a year before I have this whole file..its maddening!!

Try Phex (also a Java based client) and see if the same thing happens.

You can get it here

wasnt impressed with Phex at all..looked up the file I was trying to download on Limewire, it had it, but it would be downloading it from Limewire..which is pointless since thats what Im trying to do. I just want to figure out why this is happening and why my downloaded percentage keeps changing and taking so long.
