Default Download % decreases (Mac OS 10.5)

Using Limewire 5 & 4.1.8
Mac OS 10.5
3x I have been downloading a movie and all of a sudden the % downloaded starts to decrease. This is after hours of download time as my speed is a miserable 256 Kbs.
Another posting by drfhm describes a similar problem.
Do I have to somehow go back to an earlier version of Limewire.
And I was just about to try Limewire Pro.
Any help appreciated:

Pro will probably not help, and anyway, the looks like problems with the file.

If parts of the file are corrupted during transfer, LW's error checking throws away the bad parts and tries to find good chunks. This would explain the decrease in %

Doing another search for the file helps find good sources (if available), and may help.

I have about the same problem.
Using Limewire 5 on Mac OS (and an adsl wifi connexion).
Today almost all of the folders I wanted to download gently increase and then decrease and increase, aso. But they finally don't get up.

It would be surprising that all these folders are corrupted as it never happened before !

Which kind of problem could it be ?
