Premature Evacuation

:helpsmile:
K-Lite v2.6 downloads not completing leaving my girlfriend slightly :angry: frustrated. :angry:

Problem:
After cruising along and downloading smoothly, many of my downloads will get
within sight of completion but then they will stop short of the goal (see examples below)
with just a few KB's left and then may not resume or finish for hours.

Examples:

I've tried: 1) Patience, 2) Jump Supernode, 3) Resume, 4) Find More Sources, etc.

They will complete eventually but my question is.....
why don't downloads simply finish themselves off without this annoying interruptus?
Is it normal behavior for a file to stop downloading just short of completion?

Anything I can do short of seeking a Therapist? :P

Thanks,
mrlessk ;)

I think it is slow because it is squeezing the last few drops out. Millions of sperm start the journey but only one can (mostly) succeed.

....and remember - nothing succeeds like a Budgie with no teeth.
