Downloads sticking around 80%

[caz929]

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forums. I've got windows vista and a broadband connection, I've been downloading AVI files of televison episodes succesfully, but now the downloads seem to be 'sticking' at between 80% and 90% says remaining time is around 20 - 30 minutes and stays like that for hours! Any help would be appreciated please.

Thanks Caz

Forgot to mention I'm using Limewire 4.18.3

Hi thanks for your reply, but it says the file is downloading not looking for sources or in a queue or anything.

en que in line
sources its waiting for people to share the file
did you try a new file on the list?

Hi thanks,

I've been reading a few other posts and someone was advised to delete limewire's preference folder, I've done this and it appears to have solved the problem. All my current downloads disappeared though but no problem I have just searched for them again and restarted them.
