The answer is simple: You can't. I have tried it for months now, and it has never worked. Nobody in this forum knows how to do it either, as that topic is usually posted about three to four times a week and noone has ever got a helpful response from any user or moderator. If you need to resume your partial downloads you should think about migrating to Phex which is also cross-platform - but it doesn't look as nice as LimeWire ;-) . Whatever Lime Group claims about resuming 'across hosts', i am sure that noone has ever been able to resume anything with Lime. And I am also sure that none of the moderators will dare posting a reply.

Don't get me wrong; except for the nonexistant resuming feature I am a great fan of Lime and I do advise all my friends to use it. But I don't like the way Lime Group claims that LimeWire has features it just doesn't have, and I especially mislike the way of remaining silent in the shadows whenever this question is posted.

I have also written an email to the LimeWire support but i only got excuses about too many requests that couldn't be answered.
