My limewire was opening and instead of having all the downloads ready to download, it suddently said, "sorry but your downloads could not be restarted"

and now all the stuff I queued is gone.

HOw can I fix this error?

I believe this may occur when you don't shut Limewire down properly, i.e. if you shut down your computer without properly closing LW first.

Try going into your LW library, selecting the incomplete folder, right-clicking on your downloads and resume them.

Good Luck

Right click if you have the super mouse or simply select all in the incomplete folder & press Resume button in the Library window. This will force them back into the download window. This very very rarely happens on mac. If it does it generally happens as result of going backward in LW versions.
