Who in the heck is Reggie? It certainly isn't my name. Are you thinking of this forum or of Archie comics, for Chrissake?

Anyway, murasame's suggestion is NOT good and you did NOT read my whole post. Or rather, you read more than was actually there! All I did was
  • Click the Library tab
  • Click the folder icon that says "Incomplete".

That is ALL that I did. I didn't select anything or try to resume anything. Just those two mouse clicks produced what surely can't be correct and accepted behavior in the L/W client. Software should never exit without giving the user the choice to cancel the exit. In fact, there shouldn't be any dialog boxes in Limewire that don't have a "Cancel" button right on them, or a "No" button, which safely returns the user to the main UI without doing anything drastic (such as exiting, or removing queued downloads, or...). However I just bloody well saw one, and there's probably more of the damn things lurking in there somewhere...

In fact, "kill download" should generate a confirmation prompt with a "Cancel" button, and either "clear completed" also should, or it should not remove "awaiting sources" downloads or any besides "File Corrupted" and "Complete" downloads. The omission of these confirmation prompts has, over many versions of Limewire, gone from notable to glaring simply because someone should have spotted and corrected the oversight by now. And how's about providing a way to save/bookmark search results and back up the download queue for those times when someone does accidentally hit "clear completed" or some such?
