After waiting weeks downloading a program i eventualy got to 95% and then next time i connected 40% dissapeared. It has just happend again. After a few days building it back up to 65% it dropped back down to 54%.
This has happend a few times now, sometimes all of the download has been lost.
Can someone please help?

Which version of LW & Java are you using? Make sure you have at least Java 1.5

Go to your LW Library window, select the Incomplete folder & arrange it alphabetically by clicking on the top of the column. Then see if you have more than one listing of the same file. If no then see below.

Make a note of all your settings & then delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

Java is 1.5 and did as instructed above and it has just happend again. Fell from 54% down to 8%. Can you assist further please?

I don't even know which OS you're using. I'm guessing windows XP. Might I suggest, downlding the latest beta 4.12.0 from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml & you can see the changes here: LW Update history (click on link)

Just connected to downloaded same program and now after making changes it has slowed down from an average speed of 15KB/s to 2KB/s. Could this be as a result of the changes i have now made?
After weeks of trying to download this program and finaly getting it down to only having 2.5 Hours left to wait it is now, at this speed going to take another 12 days.
Could there be a filter of some sort used by my ISP?
I am very grateful for your advice so far, but could you help further please?
