Files over 100%? Hello, Other than a reply to a post this is my first. Here is some of my info Win XP Pro SP2 2.66 GHz 504MB RAM LW 4.12.4 Pro Java 1.6.0_02 370 GB HD's(250 & 120) I've spent the last couple hrs. doing various searches,reading sticky's without a clear answer,so I'll ask here. My LW for the most part runs great.But in the last couple days,I've had 8 different downloads that have stuck at anywhere between 100% all the way to 113% and won't verify and move to library.I've seen on another thread where people said their files like these were listed as corrupted,mine are not.These files were dormant as partial downloads for a couple weeks,then started finish downloading yesterday.They say they are still downloading at 0%.They even play fine in the LW player(Imagine that!!). One point of note.I had clicked on the link at the bottom of LW about "A newer version is available,update?When I did,it installed the newer version,but it was the basic one.So I deleted it and reinstalled my Pro.Luckily,I had read in other posts not to delete your installer files(Thx Guys!!),and had copied my Incomplete folder,so I could pick back up on them after the new version was installed,but I don't see where this would have an effect because the incompletes have to find the exact file in order to resume.I realize I could just cut them out of my incomplete folder and paste to my saved folder,but I'm looking for an answer as to why,and if this a common occurance. Thank You in advance for any help. |

Yes keep a backup of your Pro installers. Also, Bookmark your personal pro download page. Near the end of your pro period, on that page it will tell you that you are in your last part of support & offer a discount to continue. Jumping between Basic & pro can sometimes cause issues with the preferences. Make a note of all your settings, & 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.) Keep in mind next time you open your LW it will ask you about resetting your options so be sure you make a note about all your previous settings before deleting your LW prefs folder. Days to keep incomplete files is an example of one that needs to be changed. LW is now up to 12.14.10, not sure if you wish to upgrade to it or have already. Alternatively, reinstall a version you know works ok for you. One other point is many pro users have had problems with Java 1.6. You many consider removing ALL java versions & stepping back to re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 |

LOTR, Thanks for your reply! My 6mo on pro ran out long ago,it works so well I didn't see the need to renew.Still works fine.As far as preferences,I've wiped my HD so many times to get rid of hidden crap(usually once a year),I automatically just go in and redo them manually.I'll roll back my Java tonite to see if it resolves the 100%+ issue,but it has done well with 1.6 on my particular system.This is the 1st time I've had this glitch.And since the files were not corrupt,I was hoping someone had a clear-cut answer why.Thanks again! |
