Then if you won't implement HASH in the near feauture, I stronly suggest that you'll add an options to change the file names in download.dat or select the name e want for the file to be saved under.

Thumbs down Resume Still Doesn't Work

I just downloaded 2.3.2 on the promise that it could resume partially downloaded files. Well, it doesn't work for me. I start to download a file, get partially don, quit Limewire and restart. . . does not resume. I thought that maybe if I found the songs again, named exactly the same, and downloaded again, thy ould pick up where they left off. NOPE.

If LimeWire didn't restart your download, it means that the uploaders are no longer availible.
Also, you must find a file with the EXACT same name (Case Sensitive). Also, once the download starts from 0%, go to your "incomplete" directory and make sure that the file isn't added (I noticed that LimeWire sometimes writes file sizes incorrectly (it writes the same size in KB, but it's different in Bytes), so pay attenstion to the filename (T-XXXXXX-FileName.Ext).

Thumbs down Backwards Evolution

I also have GB's of incomplete files that wont resume and get started at 0%. What ****** me off most is that I also am running limewire 1.8b (in addition to 2.3) and it resumes files without a hitch. Why Did You Screw This Up in the new versions!!!!??????!! And if you don't fix this, then AT LEAST don't OVERWRITE the partial file - rename it or something. So until you fix 2.3, its back to 1.8b.

Unhappy

Please implement the hashcode feature soon.
This is the thing, that most users I know are angry about.

Is it possible to download the old 1.8b version from anywhere?

Regards
Hugo

The partial file is usually not overwritten when resuming a file, however I don't know how LimeWire 2.3 behaves when resuming a file of a version as old as 1.8b...

It used to be that if you restarted limewire while files were being downloaded, the file would immediately try to continue to download the files. I would REALLY like to see limewire go back to that.

Unhappy should be, but no search results

the search tab shows results, but I don't see any results!

What's going on?

Question how to resume?

Hi, I thought that by "resume downloading files" Limewire might start doing this by itself. I have downloaded the 2.3.3 or whatever Beta to resume downloads and to fix some other problems (which are in fact fixed) but I don't know how to resume downloads because it doesn't do it.
Is it just because these people aren't online, or do I have to find the file again? If that is so, how do I (or Limewire) know it is the same one?
My internet connection sucks at the moment and sometimes disconnects me every 5 minutes, let alone staying online long enough to download a whole song, so this would be useful.

I paid the $8.50 for 2.3.3 Pro and I still have this issue. It isn't only they don't resume, it actually erases the files from the incomplete folder in my case. I hope someone is looking into this.
