The files starts to download fine, but gradually diminishes, loses kbps and no. of hosts. Eventually it will stick on the connecting.......... message or the queue message but never change. When a repeat search is conducted it gives the download a boot but it soon returns to stick upon the two types of message mentioned above.

Is this just a nuisance facet of trying to download larger files that may be popular or is it an actual problem that others have experienced? Is there a way of managing the programme so that the problem can be overcome?

I downloaded XP Sp2 but uninstalled it once I realised the security issues it caused with such activity. I am running cable broadband at 300kbps from a home computer.

Is it simply a pain getting larger files from limewire or what? I am not really bothered about the speed of the download as long as it can be managed to operate continuously without me having to check it...............
