I posted the first in this thread, and figured something out, which may help the developers with download complaints....

An awful lot of downloads get "stuck", where they complete a percentage of the download, then never complete. Sometimes, a download from a "4 star" host never initiates.

However, and I have replicated this a dozen times now, if you get a stubborn file, or an incomplete download, just SEARCHING for the file often activates it and begins or reactivates the download.

So there are two ways to get a file to download, kill and relaunch, or simply search again.

This has to be a bug of some sort, as this is not how LimeWire should work, it makes it very manual! ;-(

thanks again.
