I have a Microsoft Windows XP Professional on my IBM laptop, with and Optimum Online internet connection, and I have a wireless router Belkin Wireless card. I have Limewire version 4.8.1, and Java version 1.5.0_02. Everything's been fine since I downloaded Limewire about a month ago. When I tried to start up Limewire this morning, all the files I've been downloading weren't there. No sign of them. I checked the Incomplete Downloads folder and everything there was fine. The files "downloads.bak" and "downloads.dat" were there. They were 1 kb each, if that means anything.

When I was browsing through the forums, I found a thread that said when you don't close Limewire before shutting it down, it might cause problems, but it didn't include problem's like this.

Can anybody help?

hey i just ran into this problem ahbout 10 min ago as well! how weird, what did i do wrong???
