The 'RESUME' function can be effective. BUT ... the most effective way to continue a file is to search for new/fresh sources. Then it should restart downlding. If not, delete it from the Download list & reselect it from the search results (yes the one that looks like a manilla folder that's open & has an arrow above it.) I find this is a very effective method. Ever since I was using dial up.

Here's some hints on optimising LW's use: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
