Yesterday I'm downloading a file of size 42 Mb. When I was 92% (38 Mb) it was too late and I shut down the MAC. When today I start my limewire again...

¡¡ SURPRISE !!

The file don't appear in the download file. The incomplete file are in the incomplete folder.

How I could resume this file and it appear again in my download window??

Help please

As I recall the resumse button is still broken, has been for quite a few major versions.

Click on the file in the Library pane and hit the resume button--it should still work. Blackbird is right--the resume button in the downloads pane was/is the one disabled.

Or--just start a new search, and if you download the same file, it should jump back to the proper % and continue.

Thank both,

I do these stief but the download appear with 0%

someone else noted that problem, and the developers are aware of that report.
I'll see if I can make it happen too.
The resume button for the incomplete file in the library pane works to get the file into the downloads pane, but I'll need to find an incomplete file bigger than 0k to test more.

You seeing this too blackbird?

THe Problem is bizare. Of 15 files in my incomplete folder that I resumed, all of them went into the downloads pane. Of these 15, all went into an awaiting sources messages, with two of them (the most recent ones) climbing up to their correct percentages although not downloading (both well over 50% complete for the record).

After searching for a couple minutes, 7 of the 13 began downloading, but at zero. Whilst the ones who had climbed to the correct percentages did not resume when I searched for the files.

So I conclude from my limited testing that a small percentage of files, for whatever reason, resume at the correct percentages and those that resume downloading after a search do NOT resume at the correct percentages.

I had to download almost 100 megs before I could get a partially downloaded file to go into "awaiting" mode. Tried larger, smaller, swarmed, and single host files. Damn but the new version is so much better at downloading! Never had this problem with earlier versions

Killed the partial, resumed it from the inc. folder, and it showed up with the correct % in the downloads list as "awaitng . . ."
Did a repeat search and it resumed and finished.

Inconclusive here, I'd say.

I just remembered--something like this used to happen just before LW started displaying vendors in the Searches and Downloads. 2.8.*?

Once vendors could be displayed, I noted older LW's (~2.3?) or others new to swarming might overwrite the file and start it from scratch. Posters would ask to turn swarming off to avoid this. Major irritation!

Perhaps an older vendor is involved here too?

I'll just go now and gum my mashed potatoes sonny.

Hmm...consider my previous test invalid. I just found a problem with me specifically. I resumed files I tried dliing more than 7 days ago. I assumed that, since my prefs are to delete after 7 days, the files would be out of my incomplete folder, but they weren't, even though it said they were partially dled. So it could be that those files weren't there and that their resumption of dl had to start at zero b/c the incomplete dls had been deleted.

It doesn't help the problem, sorry, but it explains what happened during my tests at least.

I downloaded a 219Mb file over many days; last night I reached 162 Mb (76%) but this morning, when I resumed, I saw with horror that it was starting from 0%. Now, my incomplete file is still in the Incomplete folder, its size is really 162 Mb; it shows in the Incomplete panel of LW with its right size. When I checked the forum, Blackbird's post reminded me of the stupid preference setting of deleting incompletes after 7 days. Do you think that is the problem? Or that preference only means that it deletes incompletes that haven't resumed in the last 7 days?
