Right, that's what I mentioned in the last paragraph above; although LimeWire will resume in every way possible from the hosts of a smart download group, you can't add new search results to a group. We will try to add this feature in a future release.

In the meanwhile there is a dirty hack you can use to resume from different searches. If you look at your Incomplete files, you will see that they are of the form "N(slot)-(size)-(name)" for normal downloads, where (slot) is a number that starts at 0 and is always increasing, (size) is the file's size, and (name) is the file's name. (Push downloads have a different form; let's not worry about that.) This scheme allows you to download two copies of the same file at the same time without interleaving them on disk, e.g., in case you want to try two hosts in parallel. By renaming these files appropriately, you can force new downloads to resume from old search results. You can even force LimeWire to resume from a file with a different name. Again, this will probably be automated in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.
