Hi LOTR,

Thanks for your response, and the link.
Unfortunately it did happen with 4.12.6 and I did attempt the resume function (as I mentioned earlier) to no avail.

All downloads, have reset to 0% and I am yet to see any of them recommence.
In addition none of the following scenerios occured.
- closing LW down properly before shutting down computer.
- computer crashing whilst LW is still open.
- delete the download.dat file from the incomplete folder.
- reverting back to a much older version.

Looks like I have rewritten the record books, and probably need to research and download them all.

ciao for now
