The status of my downloads say that they all have hosts and appear to be downloading BUT the % isn't moving, they all seem stuck where they are...this has started since I updated to limewire 4.16.6

But I tested to see if I could download a music file, and there was no problems doing that, it seems it's only my video files that wont budge...is anyone else getting this problem.?

Video files often come from ShareAza users who share different networks, some of which force them to use most of their upload bandwidth for those other networks. They can be highly frustrating.

Sometimes what I do, is re-search the item, if it doesn't help it with downloading then I cancel from download window & re-select from search results. This sometimes helps as connections may become stale. Also, don't forget to use the Get More Results option, right click the search result tab, choose that option to get more sources.

BTW these ideas might help (a) If LW Will Not Connect, __ (b) Problems with the search, __ (c) Hostiles List

Cheers mate, i'll try those ideas.

I have exactly the same problem and none of the above helped me. In fact nothing has. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread in the hope you get a solution. But if the experts don't know the answer, what chance have you?

You and me both mate...i've tried everything too.

I have the exact same issue. Also started after updating to 4.16.

I dont know if this is the problem but I have a feeling it's the files that i had downloading when I did the limewire update that are the ones not moving, I've just randomly added a brand new file to the list (one NOT on my list during the update) and it at the moment seems to be downloading perfectly while the old ones are still stuck.

Maybe we all have to delete the downloads we had before the update and start again...oh god.

I'll tell you guys if the new download goes through ok.

ok so i down loaded limewire and after installation, when it begins to load...it gets to about 12% and a window pops up asking me to choose a saving folder..when i click next...it takes me to a dead end page?!?!?!?! no finish, next, nadda???? ...so i uninstalled and reinstalled it and the same thing happened??? has anyone experienced this??? and any suggestions on a course of action???

thanks

I haven't had that problem...but then I haven't even managed to get to even 12% yet as my old downloads are stuck lol.

My tested new download is only on 10% right now, i'll tell you if i get that problem.

I had the problem before I got the new verison. I got so frustrated I removed LW completely and wasn't going to use it again. But I missed it so I had to pay for it again as my previous subscription had expired. When I did reinstall I got two movies fairly quickly, but I have about 10 now which aren't moving at all and, as retro said, some are even going backwards. Surely the LW people have to address this issue.
