Default resuming incomplete downloads

But this isn't an isolated case where my computer has crashed or I've exited Limewire forcefully. The program is re-starting my downloads every time exit it now. I'll watch a file download until the indicator reads 10 or 11%, then I exit Limewire, and when I start it again, that same download begins again from zero! I've restarted my computer several times, and this is still happening, so it appears to be some sort of permanent bug or corrupt file (perhaps the downloads.bak or downloads.dat file in the incomplete folder?).

Maybe I'll just try uninstalling and then re-installing the program. But will there be any way to resume the partial files that I've downloaded even once I've re-installed a fresh copy of Limewire, or are the possibly corrupt download.bak and download.dat files table of contents references to the rest of the files in the incomplete folder without which my downloads can't resume from where they left off?

Does anyone understand what I'm asking?
