I have files that are incomplete and have not finished downloading yet they no longer show up in the download box. Where have they gone? Will they still download or have they been cancelled or forgotten by limewire? Please help.

Look at the incomplete folder in Limewire's Library Window. If your partially downloaded files appear there, you may be able to resume them.

Do a search for the file again and select to download it if it appears in the results list. Make sure it's exactly the same version-number and size as what you started to download(otherwise it will definitely start over from 0).

Over the past few days I have developed a new problem-when my downloads get to about 94%, they jump to incomplete. this is happening to almost all of my downloads(10-12), but 1 or 2 have been fine. I have been using limewire for about 6 months and other than morpheus, have had no problems. I am sharing over 1,000 filles.
It seems to me that audio files are the ones that sometimes make it through, but data files (like .sit program files) are the ones jumping to incomplete. I know enough to avoid most of the fake files by watching the size and a few obvious !!-YEAH-!! plants, but I'm wondering, are there some new fake files out there designed to frustrate us?
Also, limewire is now 'unexpectedly quiting' with a type 3 error message rather frequently (2 to 3 times in as many hours - when Im multitasking. Im am running v2.5.

Unfortunately a lot of people seem to share files without checking them or even move incomplete files to the shared folder (you can notice the telltale Txxxxxxxx prefix for Limewire incompletes). I usually do several searches before downloading software to try and get a feel for what the correct size should be. This is more difficult for videos since size depends on what type of compression has been used.

Limewire doesn't seem to like sharing the computer with other applications. I usually close Limwire before running procesor intensive applications like Photoshop or Logic Audio. Also there are some extension conflicts that crop up for me (as often happens with OS9). I have several extension groups saved in the extension manager. I use the basic OS9.2.2 as a base and activate only necessary extensions for whatever application I want to use. If I activate all extensions at once, I invariably get conflicts and crashes. Crashes also chip away at the system files (especially extensions), which eventually start producing errors. An answer to this is to have a clean copy of the extensions folder which you drag into your working extensions folder to replace any damaged files, thus avoiding having to do a full reinstall.
