Have recently bought the Limewire Pro ( 2 days ago infact) and have downloaded a bittorrent which limewire has opened and started to download. Well it gets to 85% and then tells me that 4/5 people are downloading but nothing is showing on the download (no bitrate thingies)I have a turbo connection I gather but there it stays at 85!!!!!!! Have uninstalled and reinstalled both limewire and torrent but still nothing doing !!! Any suggestions would be more than helpful..................(Please remember tho that I am not the most gifted person when it comes to technical matters )
Many thanks
