downloads.bak/.dat
 

I recently moved my the contents of my shared folder to a Firewire external HD. After opening Limewire by mistake before switching on the Firewire HD, I had to then quit, turn the HD back on, reboot Limewire, reset the Shared folder and wait for the long process of Limewire scanning the shared files again.

So far, so good...

However, all the incomplete downloads have gone from the downloads window, and they seem to have all moved to the Incomplete folder as partial files (ie"T-12345678-..."), along with 2 files (which might have always been there) called "downloads.bak" & "downloads.dat", which I presume refer to all the incomplete downloads.

Is there any way to resume the downloading of these prtial files or do I have to scupper the lots and re-search...?

Find the new files on the HD you're running LW on that have the download.bak/.dat and replace them with the ones on the HD you're now currently running your shared folder off of.
