Noob Stuck at 99.99%

[mikefitz3]

Hello. I am new to file sharing and trying to figure this out. One problem that I have consistently is video files will download to 99.99% and stop and say pending. They typically have multiple sources and downloaded fairly quickly to that point and stopped. I saw another post and the response was to disable gnutella (whatever that is), which I did to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Right-click on the file choose "properties", click "Actions", and choose "Forget current verification status and reverify." I think that was the common cure for this, but I haven't seen this for a while so I might remember wrong. So it might be one of the next two options or some combination of the three actions. None of the three causes any serious damage (although you might lose a small part of what you have already downloaded), so feel free to experiment. You might also want to check that there really are complete sources for the file, sometimes all the sources for the file are missing the same small piece (if nobody has it, nobody can download it), and there is obviously nothing Shareaza can do about that. Although sometimes using another network can help.

Which network are you using?
