If you're new to LW or new to computers & aren't sure how to answer some questions,
or don't know what an ISP or router is - just say so. Nobody's going to yell at you:wink:

Hi all! New to the forums, hope I'm following all the rules! I have been using Limewire just fine, havent made any changes, and suddenly I'm having an issue. I am not a super tech savvy person, soI'll do my best to explain.

I will begin downloading several torrents, (which I believe are all coming from the same sources)
All downloads start fine, but when they get to about 92%-98% the speed on some downloads drops to 0kb/s, even though it shows I'm still connected to as many as 7 p2p users.

I have tried searching the file again and "re-clicking" it ("this file is already being downloaded") and sometimes the # of users will change briefly, but no change in 0kb/s speed.

Several files from the same place, approx same size have completed with no issues. I'm not sure what info will help, but here is what I know:

LW version 5.4.6
Using VISTA
Firewall shows as allowing Limewire
1 gb RAM
23.5gb of hard drive space available
highspeed connection
Updated Java this morning
Using Rogers as ISP
There is only 1 computer using this internet connection

I also attached a pic of my download tray (with filenames blacked out) just in case I'm doing a poor job describing.

really hope someone can help me!

S.
