every time limewires starts verifying my movie to complete the process, it stops at 99% and the program goes unresponsive. its done this 5 movies in a row now. i have to end task to shut down. its very frustrating....only seems to hapen with avi. movies...otherwise everything is fine....but man i need those movies.....some1 tell me what the hell is going on please

i forgot too mention that im runnin lw on an amd64 3400 with winxp pro 512 ram
incase u need ed too know....also wanted too mention that this was never an issue with shareaza.

My first guess... and it could easily be wrong...

I assume that you are talking about 650 - 700MB movie files...
After they are downloaded completely they are 'hashed', right ?
That takes a bit of system resources !
And, perhaps you are also running a virus-scanning application that should also be checking the new file at the same time.

Big Time CPU usage...
If you are doing anything else while these processes are running, slooooooooow will be the mode !

As I said, the above may not be the problem, but it is sure worth checking it out...

yes i was speaking of 700 mb movies....and no i dont have anti virus run in background when verifying. i understand it takes alot of resources but when it jsut freezez at 99%verification......sommins wrong..... everything goes nice no problems at all till that 99% shows and then its all over.....

I wonder, I might be on the wrong track but I'll ask anyway: Do you use the Resume button on your files? If yes do you do it to a large no. of files during a session? Doing so to many files can mean each file seaches out for immediate sources every few mins but in the meantime most will end up queueing for great lengths of time. (It can even affect LW's connection quality.) This can use a lot of LW's resources. If LW is busy with a large no. of files to count to the next resumption attempt, & possibly if you're also using other of LW's resources such as searching, using the media player, etc. then for LW to suddenly attempt to rescue back all those resources/energy needed to complete & verify a very large dwnld - there may be a bit of a clash. Just a thought!

There may also be problems with attempting to verify the file (b/c it is so large also) & LW may be struggling to keep a full connection to that host. What type of host were you dwnlding from?

Another thought is that the file is corrupt.
