Default more problems with downloads and system crash

as part of my ongoing trial and error testing method (as any tech will tell you thats th real way to troubleshoot..oops, that didn't work, guess I'll try this....)anyways,...sat watching dl for couple of hours...found that a high number of files reached 100% then went to verifying then locked up at 99%...went back to 97% and downloaded again (automatically...if sources were still available...or ended up waiting in position 1 for long periods of time)periodically hit resume on specific files only,..not groups....found that when file reached 100% and verfifying going on task manager showed limewire #1 mem usuage (peak too) then explorer screaming up...until system semi locks up...one cure was to end task on explorer..let hard drive slow down...no indexing going on, then re-start explorer....explorer comes back up using 16-20 mb ram, then have opportunity to save file (if at 100% of course), until explorer drags down system again...only appears to happen when it is one of these resume files

anybody please let me know if this is too much for a single forum post
