Resume Button
 

Does the resume button even do squat?
I feel like it is one of those light switches that most of us have had in our house at one time or another. You know the ones.....that aren't connected to anything in particular, but you flick it on and off anyway....just for the heck of it?
Does anyone know what the resume button's function is, becaue I know it isn't to resume a download, that's for sure!

Ummm....
 

It most certainly is!!
Resume on the download window will re-query a download which is in "Waiting for busy" status.
Resume on the Library window will re-query a download in the "Incomplete" folder.

Well then, your button is actually conneted to something, unlike mine.
Mine does absolutely NOTHING! So infuriating! I really dislike this program, but I already paid for the upgrade before I realized that. I have tried for 2 weeks to download **** **** **** for my upcoming spin class. I requested about 12 different versions and you know how many I have received to date? ZERO! That's right ....none. And I kept pushing that damn button.......

Thanks anyway, I'll just have to live vicariously through you and YOUR resume button.

Let me ask you another thing. Just what exactly is it about the Lime, as you put it, that you love. Have you used other download programs? Perhaps I am missing something. I truly ask this in earnest. As far as I am concerned, I really miss Audiogalaxy.

Thanks for your reply,
Patti

Interesting....
 

Well Patti... You must have liked something about LimeWire enough to make the voluntary decision to purchase the upgrade! Interesting to hear that your one issue with that one Resume button has caused such an extreme hatred towards LW!

Why do I like it?.... quite simply I personally find it overall to be one of the best Gnutella clients available at this time... but this is a personal choice... so by all means, if you dislike LW, you are certainly free to use any of the other clients.
I hope you find one that suits your needs. :)

Actually, it was not the one issue with the resume button that turned me off. The resume button was actually the last straw. I was turned off from day one. I have had LW since AG went belly up (a few months now), and since then, I have had no good results to speak of. I think I get maybe 1 in 30 songs that I request. I actually never upgraded. I started out with the pay version, because I felt bad for the software guys (you know that schpiel they give you when you open Limewire) who worked hard developing this program for users like me, and I didn't feel right not compensating them for it. I have since learned my lesson. I am trying I swipe right now, and before I actually pay for it, I am going to use it for a couple of weeks first!

Maybe it's because I use Mac, maybe it's because I don't have a tekkie background, or maybe it's because I just plain have bad energy, but I am not happy with the product. I am so glad to hear that there are people out there that are happy with it though, because it shows me that it is not just a money making scam.

It's interesting to note there are a lot of posts of unhappy people on here. Maybe we can all band together and start our own program.

Thanks for your input, but I think I will give my resume button a rest and go flick my dead light switch in my dining room for a while. :) Just for a change of pace.

Happy downloading!

just a note on the lot of posts by unhappy people... you'll tend to see this in almost any forum of any type. it's just that the happy people tend to be happy in their own little world, and the unhappy people let everyone else know. :) not saying it's bad -- just tends to be the way it is.

as far as limewire having its flaws... yes, it definitely has room to grow. i'd be really interested in hearing things, whether its usability issues or design changes or anything that comes to mind, that you think would make it better.

people's voices are definitely listed to. the 'resume' button from the library was added, the 'browse host' button from the uploaders screen was added, a completely redesigned and much more advanced statistics reporting was added, internationalization was added, etc...

there are many changes that can be done to the network side of things that would make limewire a better player on the network, but there's also lots of things in design that can make limewire better for people to use.

Resume button
 

Whats the deal with the stinking "resume" button...its not working!!!!!!!!!! i push it, and it doesnt do crap. :mad:

Its actually there to keep us amused while downloading! DU!

on one of the older versions that button used to immediately work. now it seems to work on 1 out of about 20 downoads. maybe the developers should take a look into this "sticky key syndrome"or give us a hammer button so we can knock a little harder:D

Be good all you lime Balls
