Incomplete Downloads Re-starting from Zero!

[jimson8]

I recently started Limewire (v.3.8.5) and realized that all of my partial downloads were missing from the download list for some reason, so I went to the library and resumed them all. But now it says 0% for the progress of all of them, even though some of them had previously reached 80 or 90%! I can verify this because when I look at the files in my incomplete folder, it lists some of them as being 3 or 4MB, even though Livewire shows them starting back from zero.

It seems that partial files in my incomplete folder remain untouched until Limewire re-connects and attempts to continue downloading them. At that point, the partial files are erased-- no matter how big they are-- and they start downloading again from scratch! I've been able to duplicate this problem several times in a row.

How can I make my downloads continue from where they left off as they've always done in the past?? The program's useless if I have to download everything in one sitting!
