stays at 99%

[halfcabmelancholy]

two of the files ive downloaded (one .mp3 and one .mpg) are stuck at 99%. i can play them out of the incomplete folder perfectly but they dont go into my downloaded folder.

[halfcabmelancholy]

alright so before this happened i downloaded 8 .mp3s no problem. after that it happened on the next file i downloaded (.avi) and they all still say "downloading from (4,2,1) hosts" at 0KB/s. but then the next file (.avi) it worked!? the thing is though it took FOREVER to "verify file contents" like 2 or 3 seconds per percent. the file is 412 MB but 720 MB files only take 4 or 5 seconds to verify. i have a really nice computer by the way, and 180KB/s DSL. good luck with this one..

I've seen the 99% problem, we'll fix it before the next beta. Not sure what's up with the long time to verify file contents though. Let me know if that happens again.

[halfcabmelancholy]

thanks for the response, yeah the 99% thing happens in about 1/2 of my movie downloads and when i restart limewire the file "downloads" for another couple minutes and completes, even though the final file size is the same. hope that helps you...

Just to be clear, because your posts are skirting the edge, to use LimeWire you must agree to this question (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/downloadfree.shtml). We're not interested in helping copyright infringement.

I upgraded to pro yesterdaand i have had that problem sticking on 99% also avery bad sound glitch.i couldnot play the tracks also one of my downloads was not what it was meant to be:confused:

A few things you could do to help us nail down the 99% problem:

1. Whenever you get one of your downloads stuck at 99%, kill all other downloads and leave only the stuck one running.

2. Go to View->Show/Hide->Enable the "Console" option. This will create a new tab named "Console".

3. Go to the Console tab. At the bottom there is a large combo box. Click on it and select com.limegroup.gnutella.downloader.*. To the right of that Combo box there is another one that should show "OFF". Change that to "ALL" and hit "Apply".

4. Text will start appearing in the white space in the middle of the tab. Leave LimeWire alone for about 30 seconds.

5. Hit the "Save" button and save the file "limewire-log.txt" somewhere. Then upload this file to us and we'll analyze it. If you are concerned about your privacy, email the file directly to us.

6. You can help us even further and don't mind us knowing what file you are downloading. Go to the Incomplete folder and email us the "downloads.dat" file. (Do not upload it to the forum.)

zab: just emailed you a .zip of the incomplete folder (the log.txt is inside).

This was only the second time (out of about 700 successful download) a file "stuck" while using 4.11.4 this weekend. I tried pausing and resuming, deleting from the downloads pane and redownloading, and resuming from the Library, but to no avail. The first time the only thing that worked was deleting the download from the incomplete folder and starting from scratch again.

For this second file, I've been downloading other files from that host for a few hours, both before and after this one stuck file.

Here's another example of a file that won't complete.

Hello, My movie has been stuck at 99%.this is what happens = its at 99% right? then it says (at around 13kb) 2 something mins left right? and when it has 1 sec left it goes in to waiting in line 1 but you see a glinch at 100% but then goes back to 99%? now i've read all thru the last posts, but i have no clue whats going on? i understand that i can send it to one of you limewire people and you can complete to file for me? who do i send it to? please send me the address, i don't mind sending it to you in the least, its only *****, its taken like 2 weeks day and night to get it to this point and it just happens to be my fav movie that i've been trying to download for years, anyway please reply as soon as you can, thank you.

Please don't mention copyright material on this forum. As you agreed both HERE (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/forum_intro.shtml) & also HERE (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/downloadfree.shtml)

Follow the instructions by Zab.

[vipuser]

please tell me where do i send it to (the email address):confused:

[Aaron.Walkhouse]

You probably have to ask Zab.
Any email address left out in the open is spam bait.

ouch!! so this is a familiar problem; i am looking at a 99% download of a 3 gig file, but it seems that it will never complete the task...

[cezi]

update: after looking at the 99% for almost an entire day, it says: complete! Finally! Now I have to see if the s/w is OK but fortunately I am one step further!

[zab]

Was this a torrent download?

[cezi]

Was this a torrent download?

yes sir,
using lime wire pro 4.14.12

This bug is also showing up under XP Pro in LW 4.14.12 Pro (non Beta) for me on non-Torent files with a 25% or so incidence rate. The download eventually comletes, but often not without a restart of LW.
