Default Re: Never-ending download problem

This is a big download that I would rather not kill if possible.
That's a bug - but there is a simple workaround.
Search for the file again, - and if you find it, kill the download and download the file again. The download will pick up at 100% and complete as it should.
As an alternative you could just restart LimeWire.

I've been trying to track this bug down for a couple of weeks now but I haven't found it yet. It's difficult to reproduce and my log files aren't very helpful at all. I'm probably going to submit a patch for it once I find the time ( = when I'm done with the THEX stuff).
