well, I'm using limewire from quite some time. Recently, I installed it again and it was running fine for the past 2+ weeks but now its giving me a strange error.

The files which are in the download queue, the ones that I'm downloading disappear but they are in the temporary folder so I can queue them back.

But its very irritating when I wake up in the morning seeing there ain't no download left, being happy that all downloads are done but when I see in the folder there ain't anything. WTF

So, if anyone knows why this "magic" is happening, please do let me know the solution

Another problem is that limewire disconnects most of the times and doesn't connect by itself so i've to manually connect it.

2. What firewalls you have - Sygate Personal Firewall Pro

It sounds like possibly a corrupt java download, &/or L/W Prefs folder prob
First! close L/W completely, then Go,
START/My Computer/local disc C:/ Documents & settings/Your User Name/Application Data
Now Delete the LimeWire Folder.
If you cant find Application Data Folder,GO to Tools/folder Options,& tick,show hidden folders,
You can put the setting back afterwards to protect your computer.

note: You will have to reset your, Tools/options in L/W Later.

Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Now! Use this Blue Link to get "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12" Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, 4th one down.
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.

Follow these instructions exactly.

Don't forget to reset your options in L/W, License warning n stuff.
Go to Tools > Options > Searching > License warning and make sure the setting is how you want it and then select apply....
Your feedback will help others
Any Problems Shout.
Peace.

Thanks for the help. I just need one for info. Will it by any chance affect the files that I'm currently downloading?

"Will it by any chance affect the files that I'm currently downloading ?" Yes!

are you saying you don't want my help ?

Man, I meant, will the files be affected in the sense that will they be deleted or something. Just confirming because there are a few files in the d/l queue done 50+%. So I don't want to start them from scratch as I've a slow connection.

And I'm not saying that I don't need your help.

Im not sure they will remain in tact when reinstalling.
You could copy the files in the incomplete folder + DAT & BAK to desktop, reinstall L/W then paste them back in the incomplete folder.
