Angry Re: Lost incompletes after memory crash

Well, I found the folder called "Incomplete" that LW keeps same in till finished (same folder as "completed downloads"?), but have had no luck at trying to get them "back in the window" at the bottom of LW screen after losing them in the memory crash. I don't know why, but this LW program is not really good at resuming d/l's even if they AREN'T lost; for instance- if something is "awaiting/needs more sources" and you tell it to resume/ find more, it will do nothing but spin it's wheels, but if you pull up the same file in a search, cancel the incomplete and tell it to d/l the file again, then it will start and get the file like it was SUPPOSED to do the 1st time.(Maybe it just looks in the one place it knew it was before and it's really lying to us when it says 'finding more sources'?) I'm sure that "the experts" would roll their eyes and say it's something that WE are doing wrong...No big deal, just minor aggravation on smaller files, but I've got 114MB of 119MB on something & I don't wanna start over- "click OK"...but it's NOT OK!!! Ces't la vie
