I'm using LimeWire 3.2.3 with Mac OS X 10.2.6. My incomplete d'loads were gone after quitting and re-launching -- there wasn't even a crash involved.

After trying the 'resume' button all downloads started from zero, although the incomplete files still show their old sizes in the finder.

Is there any way to restore the 'downloads.dat' file from the file information?


Thanks for help.

This has happened to me a few times. I'm using 3.2.3 pro, Mac OS 9.2, and it happened today.
Last time I quit, I had several files listed in the "Downloads."
When I started Limewire today, there was nothing there at all.
I have a lot of files in my Incomplete folder.
I have my prefs set to keep incompletes 28 days.

Any suggestions?

I tried replacing the downloads.dat with the downloads.bak but no change.

thanks

Great stuff I got some more tracks last night. Just thought of something though. Looking at files shared. They seem to decrease. Could this be because, when putting them into one of my desktop folders, I delete part of the name to fit them in neatly; like removing mp3 I mean? I just thought, well I know absolutely nothing technically,(I dont even know if this is the same part of the forum I posted to last time,) but maybe trying to extract them from my folder they are not recognised as music files?!

LimeWire will only share files with certain extensions. If you delete the extensions altogether, LimeWire will not share the files.
