hi i have had the same problem with my files freezing at a certain percentage this has occurred a couple of times now with avi files around 700mb.. the problem happened after i shut down my computer, when i restarted my computer the files progress didnt move

but i have had 2 - 3 files that have had the same problem at first and then started to work, this was after i deleted the files from the incomplete folder a couple of times and restarted my computer and downloaded them again and again then after a while a corrupt file message shows up and the file started to download as normal once the download was complete the file was playing fine. im still experiencing this same problem and deleting the files isnt working anymore so if anyone knows how to fix this please help.

btw i have uninstalled and reinstalled limewire multiple times and my operating system is win xp

thanks..

For some people, for some reason their LW is slow to shutdown properly. Do a control-alt-del to bring up the window to show if LW is still active or not before shutting down computer. Wait until it does close down, else I guess you can force quit it however that may muck up your download prefs as you have been having. If the latter is the issue that LW is not closing properly, it may be Java related & the version of Java you have is not working the best on your system. Something else you can do is: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link) which will speed your LW up rather dramatically. Apply that to those files of zero download % or files of less than 200 KB for example.

Make sure LW is set to close immediately. Go to Tools -> Options -> System Tray and check this option.
