Arrrrgh! I managed to download episode 1 S5 of both ALias and 24. Now I just downloaded ep 2 of 24 and the whole series of Alias and they both stopped downloading on 99.9% and the KLB download dropped to 0. I am being duped by some nasty gits or is this normal?

It's not normal. You'll often find that your speed drops approaching the last few Kbs of the download but it should still get done.

What you might want to try is stop the download, and then try playing the 99.9% partial download through your media player. Best case scenario, it'll play and you just end up missing the last second, ie. the credits.

Thanks CK, its worked! Am now pottering my way thru S5 of Alias. But not 24 cos I deleted it in a fit of frustration - oops.
