Force ip was an old setting. It was been replaced with the Firewall section in the Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Firewall section of your LW settings.

You would normally use that section if you are port forwarding your modem/router. And reciprocate the port forwarded in the LW settings. Example here: Manual port forward instructions & sample image

I am not sure if this is the right thread for this sort of question, but here I go.
I am currently downloading a "torrent-file". I found it on a web page, downloaded some file which i oppened, and it began to download using LimeWire.
Unforutenately, it has stopped on 99% completion. And even though it finds 3 to 8 host, it still dont want to complete. The only wrong things I see, are the fact that there are no "speed" and "time" during the download.
So what is wrong? What may I do? Thanks in advance, folks!

Torrents are hardest the more you have downloaded. Since Torrents very much use partial file sharing, the more you download, the less hosts there are who have the entire file. Chances are people with the last 1% are either not online, else their upload slots are busy with other files or other people. Patience is best.

LW is not a great torrent program. One such reason is that it appears not to have any share ratio recording. With other torrent programs, some people set their torrent program not to share with people who have less than a certain share ratio.
