Hi there - new on the discussions, but have been using Limewire for a few years on a PC and then a MAC - I've looked in the forums and on Google but can't seem to find this problem mentioned (though maybe its that I'm not search for the right terms? - apologies if so and this is already covered - might just be that I'm being stupid as well though ...)

I've noticed more recently that with some video files that I've been downloading (AVIs in all cases I think), the downloading progresses as normal, but seems then to revert to 0% in the 'progress' column of Limewire at some point before reaching 100% (the latest at 79%) - the file itself on my hardrive seems not to have reverted though.

Can anyone advise on whats happening here? Is the file corrupt and best deleted maybe? (annoying if so!)
