Default BIG DOWNLOAD BUG 5.1.2pro

I am very pissed.

I've been downloading a 8GB torrent for 4days, when it's almost finished, I start to listen to some incomplete videos (limewire still downloading) ... Unfortunatly, i felt asleep, when i wake up this morning. The download is finished but it says their has been a hdd error... 8 gigs are completly deleted. I started the same torrent... nothing starts back from scratch. I think the error was that i had downloaded file open when the download finished.

For sure i had enough space on the hdd.

so i had to pay for this bs version of lime wire and pay for those 8gb download and 2gb upload (because i have a bandwith limit) and i know i have to download it again... fuking bs

LW is a very poor client for torrents. Some sites will not allow LW because it does not track share ratios and other issues. You're much better off using a true torrent client, such as Vuze or uTorrent. Both are free.

More info here if you need it: Beginners Guide (to torrent downloading)

I am aware the mods & admins on these forums are split between using Vuse (Azureus) & uTorrent. They're both about as good as each other. Either one, but both are far superior to using LW for torrents. Unfortunately LW's abilities with torrents is very restricted.

Yes I also have bandwidth limits. A PITA for you. Sorry to hear.
