i have a lot of files in my incomplete folder. is there any way that i can resume those files? thanks for your help.

I guess that would depend on which program you and the person your recieving the file from use. I use gnucleus and have had 20-30 partials at a time and I would just refresh then attempt to download again and if it finds the compatable host woo hoo if not try try again, If after a few days or how ever long you want to wait they still havent done anything I would delete them and research them completely and start over, theres a more info button if your using gnucleus that might tell you the reason the d/l stopped in the first place. I've had several that almost finished then suddenly stopped and the reason was varied but when I tried to continue it said host doesn't have resume capability or something to that effect. good luck anyways!

I guess the poster above didn't realize he/she was in a Limewire forum, not Gnucleus.

When the download is still active in your window, do the same type of search you did to obtain the download in the first place. If your search gets a hit to which it can connect, it does so automatically. You can do this as you download if you want to try for a swarmed (from more than one host at a time). Watch this with video, however, as it may leave blank frames at the seams. Swarmed downloaded mpg's can often be corrupted this way.

Once your download is inactive, then you are locked into the *exact* name of the file. Do a search for that particular name and hope that there are a few copies floating about.

Sorry that does Not work for any system over 1.8 once a file is inactive and is no
longer on the front screen and is only in the incomplete files it wont start from where you
left off even if the file size and name are exaclty the same. Limewire blew it badly,
when they lost that ability what where they thinking? And upgrade is supposed to
be better at the important things not get worse.

Sorry, Lisa, but that *does* work, at least for the rest of us, though certainly not as often as one might like.

Sometimes LW will even start an identical file download with a (1) after the name. I have yet to figure out why this is the case. Once I killed that download and started it again, it resumed the file in the incomplete folder (which turned out to have been corrupted by a swarmed download, but that's another matter...)

If for some reason you have lost this feature since 1.8, can you still get a copy of that version to use?
