Are you downloading the file from the gnutella network, or is it a torrent? 4.13 was the first LW version with BitTorrent support... LW isn't a good torrent client now & it was even worse in the early days

If you're downloading a torrent, did you check the comments about the file before choosing to download the torrent? Depending on how many seeds (people who are uploading 100% of the file) are around, you might have to wait a while to get the last pieces.

If it's a Gnutella file, try a new search for the file name - see whether that gets things going again. Or right click on the file name in the download pane > search > search for keywords. See if that helps - if a new search finds the file then maybe it will resume.
Did you check the file with Bitzi before download (just to make sure that it's not a known bad file)?

That Pro version was released in 2006. So any Pro benefits would have expired ages ago.

So you can either choose to update to the latest basic version 5.2.13 (but before you do, please read this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...downloads.html ), update to a newer basic version (as shown in the link above), buy Pro again or keep your current Pro version.

If you do decide to update or buy Pro again, keep in mind the resuming of incompletes as shown in the link above

And if buying Pro, remember to buy only from the official site: Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire
