We are having a bad time with a glitch in LimeWire. When a download completes and the ‘Verifying file content’ routine starts, should the connection fall out - the file verification stops and the percentage at which it ended the process is then the point at which LimeWire restarts the download. For example if the connection drops out at 97% LimeWire restarts the download at 97%. In actuality the complete download is there and only file verification needs to be restarted!

The problem is that this has been happening over and over, so some files do not ever complete!

Into the mix, my significant other found some individuals in a chat room post that they were f*****g with scabs on LimeWire, by waiting until the downloads were at 99%, then closing the program twice. They stated this would cause an error and the scab would have the file download reset causing an irritating delay! (When asked why they did this this, the response was they liked Kazaa and didn’t like that LimeWire users didn’t have to put up with ads and spyware that they have to continually deal with!)

I wish file sharer’s on LimeWire could be made less of a target as a result of this...
