hi i have some problems
1) im downloading an avi file but when it get to a certain percentage it stays like that for hours, i.e when it gets to 30% it goes to 31% then back down again to 30% over n over again. ive tried cancelling and deleting the file from the incomplete folder n download it again but still face the same problem. i even delete the .dat file from the incomplete folder. uninstalling n installing limewire faces the same result.

2) im currently using limewire pro 4.18.8. when downloading a file the maximum host i can download from is 10(downloading from 10 host). when i was using limewire pro 4.16.? the maximum host was 14. is this normal?

thanks

2) You are obviously using LW Pro if getting 10 hosts per file. Only if you are running as an ultrapeer can you get up to 14 hosts per files. Similar question was asked here How do i remove the limit of hosts i can download from in Limewire PRO

1) Unfortunately the file you have chosen has a corruption. At some point LW has detected the corruption & you clicked yes to continue downloading & also clicked the 'always use this answer' option. So you would not be asked again. That happens to me now & again. And always the same file. Try to find the file from a different source if possible. Answered here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...wards-why.html hmm I should probably add more advice on that thread.

(your problem is more of a download problem, so I moved your thread to the Upload/Downloads Problems section.)

thanks mate. i dont quite understand when u say" Try to find the file from a different source". ive checked wit bitzi n it says the file is fine. there was 1 time when this happened so i uninstall n install an older version of limewire n download was ok. thats my way getting round corrupted files while downloading, its either that or using my other computer to download the file. just wondering if u have better solution lol

Tell me about it. I'm seeing the same problem and I can't believe that every file I've tried to download over the past week was somehow corrupted.

Have you checked the files from search results with Bitzi? How to use Bitzi Web Lookup

When I said download from a different source, I meant in search results, if there is a different one listed, choose that one instead of the one you chose, if there is an alternative.

There is a chance you have security software which is affecting your downloading files.
