well....there is a way to find out...

go to your incomplete folder (its in the same directory as your saved folder), find the tmp file, copy it to let's say your desktop, then rename it with the appropriate extension (i.e. .avi, .mpg, .mov, etc) then try to play it...

Cool Download @ 99% Slows to a Crawl & No Hosts Found

I have always used Bitzi It is a time saver & the only way I download anything off of LW .

But to say it is full proof just is not true(Much to My Dismay) I might add.
First off I picked a file as I always do, it was rated as Best Version,I then clicked on the Magnet link.
At first My D/L speed was fine 112 KB/s via 10 Host's.
But I noticed that when I approached the 90% complete mark things slowed down big time!
From then on I was hittin 25-30 KB/s untill I got to to the 95% complete mark at which point I noticed another drop in speed now I was pulling down 7-12 KB/s & when I hit the 98% complete mark things slowed down to a crawl
I was seeing 1-2 KB/s .

Finally when I reached the 99% complete mark I had to force a reconnection to 1 host over & over again & then it would only hit 0-1 KB/s.
But most of the time it said "Awaiting Host's" or "Busy Host's".
When I say Force I mean I would search & search & click on the resume tab over & over until I finally connected to a host even though there were 13 or more host's visible as available in the search results window & if I let it sit it would never connect! (like it didn't see the 13 Hosts/Ghosts)

So anyway I forced a reconnection through 1/2 of the 99th% which brought Me to 99.5% complete mark(educated guess) & now I can't even Force connect to that last host,so that I can slowly get that last 1/2% & complete this D/L as it should be!

I realize it is just the credits & oh sure I could just cancel the D/L & copy it out of the Incomplete Folder then paste it into My Library,rename it & use it for My own purpose's but I think in order for the program (LW) to retain semblance one is supposed to D/L the Complete File & "NOT RENAME IT" so that is what I am trying to do!

I am on XPproSPII / LW 4.12.3 pro($) / EventID 4226 Patcher Version 2.23d /
Java1.5.0 Build(1.5.0_06-b05) / Port Forwarding for Gnutella enabled on Belkin(F5D5231-4) / Clearwire 768K downlink, 256K uplink
