By 'kick & banned' you for downloading using LW I take it you mean that my broadband provider or somebody is taking action against me. That is not happening - just a few minutes ago I downloaded another torrent chosen at random and it worked. I have reverted to LW 4.1.18 and installed utorrent and Vuze, but nothing seems to work - they all have their own error message.

In answer to other points, the number of peers varied but was normally about 50. The speed also varied, but when it stopped it was due to finish in about six days, having got through about 52gb out of 86gb. It was by far the largest torrent I have ever used, but it worked fine for nearly a fortnight.

The problem seem to be limited to one torrent only. Am I allowed to name the torrent on this forum? There are two similar ones, both giving the same size of download, and neither of them work on any program, even though one previously worked fine for a time.
