I've tried restarting the downloads that got stuck and it made no difference.

I was able to download a few full movies last weekend. I had about a dozen on the go at the same time and started the downloads on Thursday night, I had to leave my pc on overnight and all through the Friday to get the movies I got.(about 6) I then switched it off on Friday night and back on on Saturday morning, but they made no further progress, a few of them were in the 80% region as well. So it looks like continuous downloading may be the answer, which will have to be a weekend thing for me as I won't leave the pc on when I'm out of the house.

That may be it. I cancelled all three movies that had stalled and tried downloading only one from the start(but a different version/size/name, etc.) It finished successfully in one sitting. i haven't tried any more since then, but I will this weekend.
I just remembered that i changed one or two settings in the middle of the downloads that stalled, including the folder that files would download into. It said the changes wouldn't take place until I restarted limewire. I don't know if that was a factor. Either way, I hope it was just a one-time thing. All three are cancelled now and I'll put it behind me until it happens again.

I've just finally been able to download a video file, but as the last two posters have said I had to download it in one go, from start to finish.

So that must be the problem, we cant switch off limewire while a file is still downloading as then when we re start limewire it'll be stuck.

Why is this happening tho? because with the last limewire before the update that was never a problem.

Even then I'm still getting a few files that are stopping at a certain percentage and going no further.

The Limewire guys need to sort these bugs in the system out...it's certainly not our fault these issues are coming up.

The helpers here aren't developers, just volunteers.

If you think there's a bug in the latest LW, you need to post at this other forum. Then the developers might see your posts.

Thanks Birdy, I'll do that later. Everyone else with the problem should add to the thread when I do to show the extent of the problem.

Thankyou for the link birdy, but can you post it again as when I click it nothing happens or I get an error page.

Im still having files getting stuck after having to switch limewire off and back on again.

Some of the longer files take so long to download in one go that it's impossible to keep my computer on for the ammount of time needed to get the job done...I just hope this major problem can be fixed by someone.
