The problem happens sometimes. No I haven't deleted my LW Preferences. I uninstalled the previous version and installed 4.6.0 pro. I did delete everything in the incomplete download folder everytime I lost my downloads in LW,although this last time I left all the incompleted downloads.

I am new to LW, I have always used DC Plus and before that Kazaa. Never had the problem then.
