won't re-connect leading to lost downloads..AAARGGGHHH!! Hi Guys,
Unlike many complainants, I think Limewire is pretty bloody fantastic, BUT I need help with a recurring problem. Or two.
My internet connection keeps getting disconnected (I suspect my ISPs here, but that's another topic) and when this happens Limewire insists on keeping it's red light when I try to reconnect - a green light winks at me but it's instantly back to the red light and a non-connection.
I have found that the only way to kick start it is to quit out and restart Limewire. But then I lose what I have already downloaded - i.e. some stuff can be as far as 90% complete but when I restart the app all the waiting downloads are back to 0% complete. That's if i am lucky! If I am unlucky I will have lost all pending downloads and the app opens with a blank screen.
I am using a Mac G4 running OS 9.2 wit a pukka purchased copy of Limewire Pro and am sharing over 560 files - now I need a stiff drink 'cos I am p***ed off having lost an almost complete download for the n'th time!
Cheers,
Nick |
