Hi, I wasn't sure which board to post on so I'm posting this on a few. Basically, this has happened several times, but never with something important enough for me to look into it. What happened was, I was downloading a long video file (350 MB) and I stopped downloading it for a long time, weeks. I figured it would just stay, cause it's Limewire, and it would remain incomplete in my incomplete folder (I use Mac OS X). Well 90% was done and today I got back on the internet with my laptop and the file was back to 0%. I checked my incomplete folder and it was only a few KB, meaning the data definitely disappeared and the download began anew.

How did this happen? Can files and data just disappear or start over like that when they're not done downloading? Is the lost data anywhere on my computer?

Thanks for any help anybody can give me.
