No ofense ultracross but I thinc you should read this before you even thinc about talking...
Q: Can I resume the download of a file?
A: As of the current release, there is a "forced resume" button, which allows users to restart a download from the download window. "Smart downloading" will try to "auto-resume" your file if needed.
Q: What happens to my active downloads if I exit LimeWire?
A: If you exit the LimeWire program, any downloads that were in progress will terminate at this time. These downloads will resume the next time you start the program, but only if the host of that download is connected to the Gnutella network.
Q: Where are my files stored before they have completed the download process?
A: They are stored in an "Incomplete" directory. Click the "Library" tab to view.
Q: Can I "preview" files before they have completed downloading?
A: You can preview in-progress downloads of media files by simply double clicking on the name of a file currently being downloaded or pressing the "Launch" button after highlighting the file being downloaded.
Q: Does LimeWire preserve the state of downloads in the case of a system crash?
A:Yes. LimeWire will generally behave as if you had quit the program. (See above.)
