Each time I close Limewire I worry that my incomplete files won't be available in my download list when I restart. This actually happens every tenth time or so. My files are present in my incomplete folder, but Limewire doesn't recognize them. If I find the exact file again, one half of the time it will resume downloading where it left off . . . the other half of the time it starts over again from 0. This is frustrating me and wasting lots of time. Any suggestions for activating the files in my incomplete folder? Thanks!

I can not seem to do anything

i have the same problem and it ****** me off...

the same happens here running 2.2.3.

problem should have been solved with LimeWire 2.3

running 2.3.3 now the problem is still here

that problem was solved in the most recent version.

please remember that if LimeWire doesn't find a file with the exact same name as the one you are trying to resume, the download won't resume until the file is found.

I know for sure that incomplete downloads are not restarted/resumed when I restart LimeWire. And I do not change any filenames.
I just downloaded LimeWire again and I got 2.3.3 (although the download was described as 2.3.1) If you mean 2.3.3 when you say "most recent version" then this was not solved.

I think I know now, what your problem is, and it might not have been solved yet, indeed.

Ok, LimeWire groups files in the search results, even if they don't have the same name.

If you have a group of 10 differently named files in your search results and click "Download All", LimeWire, when it is restarted, will just resume one of those files. - If the file you downloaded previously had a different name, it won't be resumed, but a new temporary file will be created on your disk.

There is only one solution I can offer: If you have a group of search results in your search panel, do not download the whole group, but only one file. Since LimeWire will automatically requery the network, it will be downloaded even if the specific host you were trying to download from wasn't available. This should prevent LimeWire from creating multiple temporary files for one download.

My problem is that the incomplete downloads are not listed in the download panel after a restart of limewire.
I can see all of them in the library\incomplete list but they are not automatically inserted into the download list.
