I am having problems with a few files on k-lite pro. They get almost completed (99.1-99.3%) then they start to go backwards. It will say 99.3 then 2 min later it will go back down to 98.73. It does this repeatedly on only a few select files. Any way I can avoid these problems altogether or fix it? One of the files already has 1.6 gig downloaded so I would rather not restart it, but I will if I have to. Other downloads work fine. Thank You for your time and effort!

I think what happens is, not very many people are sharing that last 2 or 3% of the file you want. And the very few who are sharing it are sending you bad data, which K-Lite ignores. I think the only thing you can do is wait until more users sharing that file come online, or try later.

It'd suck to restart it...

It has about 223 sources. Another thing ive noticed is most of the downloads are downloading from a limewire or k lite client, would it help if I disabled the gnutella 1 + 2 networks and only download from emule/edonkey sources? They seem to be slower with que's up to 3000 people but would this possibly help? Is the emule network more likely to have clean data?
