Which version of LW are you using?

Are you downloading the movie from the gnutella network or is it a torrent?
LW isn't a good torrent client (has issues with tracking share ratio, lack of options & is even banned by some trackers). Most people here would recommend Vuze or uTorrent

If you're downloading a torrent, did you check for comments about the file before download?

If you're downloading from the Gnutella network, have you checked the file with Bitzi? How to use Bitzi
If there's a corruption within the file then download % can fluctuate & go backwards: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/frostw...wnloading.html

Downloads will usually fluctuate up & down because LW detects a corruption. LW attempts to redownload the parts of the file that it thinks are corrupt.

However, since you are using LW 4.18, try pausing the download & then resuming. Perhaps the download connection is simply going stale for some odd reason. That does happen. Also search, try to find more hosts to download from.

This is not happening to every video download though is it? Only this or a couple specific ones. You might need to try & find a different version or source for it (can be difficult to find a different one). I've had same thing happen to me. Eventually finding someone with a version that was not corrupt.

Have you done a Bitzi look up to check if the file is reported at all?
