download does not resume

[chivaz]

i have limewire pro 10
i have got some problem in my system.it crashes a lot. i've tried everything but still it crashes a lot especially when limewire is running.but thats not the real problem.problem is as follows
many a times it has happened that 90% of a 600-700 mb movie has been downloaded but due to a system crash when i restart limewire it doesnt load old downloads. now when i resume the movie from incomplete folder it again starts at 0% and takes full time to download(mean it doesnt resume).
this has happened not with one movie but anytime when i restart after a system crash.i m really frustrated.could anyone tell me any solution 4 this.

If you're using mac osx then there's a backup utility you can use for your downld prefs. If you're using windows, then all I can suggest is manually backup your downld prefs every few hours or so. ie: Go to LW's Library window, select Incomplete folder, press Explore button. This will open the folder for you. Then Copy "both" the downloads.dat & .bak files to another location. If you LW crashes, then before re-opening LW, replace the downloads.dat & .bak files in the incomplete folder with the ones you backed up.

It would be nice to find out the cause of your crashes.

Have you tried deleting your incomplete folder whilst limewire is closed. I measn the entire thing. Limewire will create a new one automaticly I have been told (never tried it myself, but will try it soon as I am also having some problems. Not as bad as yours though)

As to files not resuming after a systems crash. This is very common when Limewire is not closed down normally. You should really have someone take a look at your system. Have you tried scanning your computer for malware, or maybe tried to post a Highjack This log in one of the computer help forums. I have used this one in the past.
