Actually LW does attempt to make connection with each file anyway after you open it. If you have people uplding from you then it'll make it easier to continue downlds without manually searching or resuming, etc.
Some hints: After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.
Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.
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.
