Help... I am moving backwards - Well, my Downloads are!
 

Hi everyone. I have been using Limewire for some time and have never had this problem before. I was downloading a few movies and they started moving backwards. (98% down to 89% etc...) Then they just sat there for about a day. It says downloading from 7 hosts and however many kb/s and such like it is downloading, but it is not moving exept for every once in a while it will back up a percent or 2. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.:laugh_2:

When things get stupid I uninstall and reinstall.

That does not work too :(.

Mine is still going backwards.

One more thing however, this issue does not seem to affect my torrent downloads.

Only LimeWire specific downloads are being affected :(

Im having exactly the same problem :(

any help on this? i am unable to use my limewire at all :(

I'm having the exact same problem
 

:(

Please reply to this thread. Need help badly.

Btw, should I delete the file that wont keep downloading?

I will try reinstalling.

having the same problem here, grrrr
 

:mad:Ive been having the same problem for a month now..have been continuously trying to download the same movie over and over..originally it was fine..was about 60 percent downloaded, and I decided to preview it..well, that did something and knocked it down to like 30 percent..then it seemed like it was never going to go any higher..so I cancelled it, deleted the incomplete file, and tried again..and have tried a few other times since then..for two or three days at a time,itll fluctuate between two different percents, before eventually getting past that and going up one..but Im beginning to think it may be a year before I have this whole file..its maddening!!:mad:

Try Phex (also a Java based client) and see if the same thing happens.

You can get it here

phex
 

wasnt impressed with Phex at all..looked up the file I was trying to download on Limewire, it had it, but it would be downloading it from Limewire..which is pointless since thats what Im trying to do. I just want to figure out why this is happening and why my downloaded percentage keeps changing and taking so long.:mad:
