The files I want appear in my searches; I know that at least one of the hosts containing them is on line nearly non-stop.

That is entirely possible. If the remote host has a problem with http1.1 support although advertising it, - e.g. it drops the TCP connection after you stop the HTTP connection your LimeWire will just stop downloading. I know that does happen when downloading from some clients. I don't know which client behaves like this but you will not experience anything like that, if you are downloading from another LimeWire host.

2. Since I do not have 'auto-clear completed uploads' checked in Preferences, I do not see uploads revert to zero after every parcel is completed. Believe me, I've been monitoring this for several week now. 2.8.5 users do complete 100% of uploads for small files (under 10MB). They do NOT complete large uploads. At 10KB/s, it takes over two hours to upload a 80MB file. If a 2.8.5 users shows "complete" after half an hour, he does not have 100% of the file.

There is absolutely no possibility of making sure 2.8.5 upload has reached 100% from your side. If a 2.8.5 user shows "complete" after half an hour he might have downloaded the earlier or from another host.
