Usually the percentage is calculated based on the trending history, so if it pauses towards the end it could just be that the DL slowed down.

Also at the very end it can pause because your virus scanner is checking the now complete file before the program signals that it’s completed.

If you have a slow disk, it can also be flushing part of the file from memory to the hard drive.
