After using limeweird for months, I've come across one of the most obscene dysfunctions of it all.

For months I've been waiting for some downloads to finish, gradually developing a list over time, all in anxious anticipation of getting them all completed, eventuallllllllyyyy.

Starting up der pooter a moment ago, then limewire, I got a message that it could not recall my downloads. I shut down limewierd and started it again. Still no autorestart of downloads I've been waiting for months to complete. I rebooted der pooter, started limewired and still no resumption of downloads. I followed the instructions from der popup thingy, go to library, click on der files to resume, then click resume.

RESUME??????? HA! They all seem to have restarted from ZERO!!! I had more than 14 files that were at 90% or above, having waited weeks and months for them to get that far, and now they're back to ZERO????? ALL OF THEM.

Surely a more reliable and more stable product can be made, exists somewhere in the manifest world, something more than a developer's dream, already.

We gotta be able to do better than this -- Solutions, anyone?


I just checked my restarted -- from ZERO -- downloads, 8 of my 90+% downloads are coming up 'corrupt', even after serveral months of waiting for them to finish never ever resulted in a 'corrupt' file. I have more than 24GB of wasted time, attention, months and hard drive only to have some dysfunction nullify allllll of that time, effort and undefragmentable hard drive space of downloads that are incomplete. Why can't limewired recognize them and continue from where they are instead of STARTING FROM ZERO?

That's about as bad as some of the downloads I've seen where a full 2 hour show is downloading, TURBOCHARGED, from anywhere from 8 to 14 sources at 1K a second, with as much as 875, days, 23 hours and 48 minutes remaining to complete the download. TURBOCHARGED? This is Soviet quality.
