Default Recommended workaround for no-requery behavior

Hello.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for how users of the 2.9.x version (the one in which the automatic requery of files to be downloaded is disabled) of LimeWire can force a requery of files selected for download?

Here's the use case:

- do a bunch of searches
- choose a bunch of files for download
- the requested files sit in the download window because they can't be downloaded immediately
- quit LimeWire, by choice or by crashing
- reopen LimeWire

At this point, my original searches/results are gone, and the files in my download pane show "Could not download; awaiting sources" as their status. If there was a way that I could select all the files in the download area, and tell LimeWire to requery for these files, it would be idea.

The policy for no automatic requery is designed to keep the network usage lower, right? If LimeWire worked as I described, it wouldn't make requeries all the time -- just when the user did a manual requery.

So... is there a way that a plain user can do this? Any tricks?
