I am guessing the last time you shut LimeWire down the file was at 20%. From my own experience LimeWire or any other P2P software I have ever used does not auto save data when you shut it down manually it will save the data you DL to that point.

When you lost power LW was not able to save the data due to the sudden system shutdown. It is just like if you were in the middle of a e-mail and you lost power when you reboot and return to your e-mail it is gone.

I do allot of large spread sheets with office and luckily office has a auto save feature which I have set to run every 10 min. Thus if I have a sudden power loss I will not loose all my work. It would be nice if P2P software had a feature like this but I do not think it would work very well because when it is saving it has to stop the DL to do so thus the connection would be lost.

Any way if I was on dial-up I would shut LW down occasionally thus saving the progress to that point.
