Re. my post 2 above this, I now seem to have solved my problem of video files getting stuck and even going backwards (despite a week of leaving my computer on overnight at reasonable 25kbps download speeds) by uninstalling Limewire version 4.16 and re-installing 4.14 from the link someone provided in the list above. FYI it was only video files I was having trouble with, audio files seemed fine. The two video files that were stuck at 42 and 52% respectively are now both up in the 60% range! I will report back in a few days and see if they have finished downloading.

weird things are happening to me when I try to download files...I installed for the first time limewire starting with the 4.16.6 version. Now while downloading, I have a file that has reached 22% and despite showing a downloading speed since quite long, isn't moving at all. Another one is bangi jumping from 10% to 11% and back. Right now the 22% file went back to 21%....!!!! It looks like they cannot get any further. Did anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks

See my post just above, I had the same problem, this seems to be a problem with the new version of Limewire - use the link helpfully provided by someone earlier in this thread to download the slightly older 4.14 version of Limewire and this has solved the problem for me.

Does anyone else get the problem though that if you pause a download, the whole of Limewire will freeze up and can only be closed via Task-manager? If I find a rare file I want to download now when all my download slots are already full I now find it's simpler to delete the download I want to pause from the list and then find it in my list of incomplete files and resume it - works the same but is rather "round the houses". Obviously another bug in the system that needs ironing out!

thank you....I did download the older version and it works fine...

.....so it must be a small corruption
like a virus file attached to the video maybe?
Best you run a thorough virus scan over those corrupted files just in case.

Does any of you have a REAL solution at those problem ??
I've been experiencing the same stuck on my download and worst my download speed won't pass 20KB/s !!! why !!!!!!!!!!! WHY???????????

Hi guys im new here,, the reason y i join here cuz im having prob w/ limewire,, here's what happen i download the new version of limewire 4.18.3 and im using MAC OS X (10.4.11) but after i download i can't open the limewire.. i tried the old version still the same its not working, this is the first time tht happend.. can smebody help me!?

Can't launch LW: Bouncing in Dock (click on link) .. lots of things to try. Including JUM's build. Sounds like you need to delete your LW prefs folder for a start. And repair permissions.
Glad to hear you can get 20 KB/s. Probably same user's upload capacity is just that.

How fast are your Uploads?
