Sorry forgot to mention: I'm running LW basic 3.0.1 on MacOS 9.2.2

I thinks it's 7 days of inactivity.
I finally saw the 0% resume problem.
Following a crash, my incompletes did not resume on startup, even after trying all the tricks. This happened a couple times using LW3.2.0j173 on Mac 10.2.6.

I'm guessing the downloads.dat file in the incomplete folder became corrupted.

Did you have a crash or get a pop-up error message in your session before the incomplete wouldn't resume?

Exactly. Everything was working fine (tens of resumes of the same file every day) and suddenly after a crash, the problem started. I have just updated to LW 3.2 but nothing changed. Any chance to recover the incomplete file?

Ah! Not that I know. sberlin knows a lot about partial files (see here ).
I'll see if I can get more info on this.

I'll be eternally grateful if you or anybody can save the thousands of hours I spent dlding! Without mentioning the money spent on phone bill!

sberlin just announced a patch about backing up the downloads.dat file.

I tested the .DAT file. When the list of downloading files goes away, the DAT file is reset to blank. Tried saving copy of .DAT file when DL list is in good shape, then copied the save version back after the list was cleared, but the restored .DAT file was ignored. DL list was still blank.

This is a really bad problem for those w/o a high speed connection.

i seem to have a similar problem to all the people here but i'm a little computer illiterate so i'm kind of confused...i have been using limewire since like version 1.6 and i always get the new upgrades but i have never had this problem untill i upgraded to version 3.2.1...if i shutdown limewire and my computer as well(running windows ME), the next time i start up up my comp and LW, the downloads that were in progress do not auto-resume as they're supposed to...and to make it all worse, when i resume them from my incomplete folder, the progress bar in the download pane reads 0% even though i might have 40% of the file actually downloaded...i have a dial up connection and as you can imagine THIS SUCKS!!!! i love limewire but this problems sucks really hard!!! i hope someone fixes this thing real soon...bye

Upgrade to 3.2.2 (the current download link). There was a small problem with 3.2.1 that would corrupt certain download data.

alright , much better, thanks for the heads up...
