Default moving the files worked for me

I'll let you know if I find it.)
i have experienced exactly the problem veejay describes in this thread. i have used the solution above every time with success. i simply kill the download on the file and it works fine, so then i move it from "incomplete" to wherever it should have ended up.

tip: find the file first, before you kill the download, so you can see exactly what it's named and don't accidently move another in-progress download.

my specs: lw 4.0.8 pro on windows xp, dsl connection, usually get about 300-400 kbps. i don't have to leave lw running a long time to get this problem, but it does seem to be associated with a lot of activity (anecdotal).
