You have to keep in mind it's almost a characteristic of LW or Gnutella that if you choose to downld more than you can or some have difficulty downlding then you will end up with incomplete files. You can use the resume function but i wouldn't recommend doing it on more than a couple at a time or else it may have side fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. 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.

Also keep in mind that Gnutella clients are designed in a way to be healthy to the Gnutella network & not use up too much traffic with too many requeries & requests & searches which use up a lot of bandwidth. That's another reason why not to use the Resume/Find Sources in an irresponsible way.

Some hints:
* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* 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.

Just as some xtra hints; re-search the topic of the files that are incomplete. Also if they have a chat icon next to them, see if you can browse them or else, browse similar results in the search results. This can often find other people who have the same file & thus urge on the file to continue downlding. (To learn more about chat, browse & DC see: How to Direct Connect, Browse & Chat )
