I forgot to say that Limewire worked normally for few days before the error message appeared.

You can use LimeWire again by going to your Incomplete folder and deleting the "downloads.dat" and "downloads.bak" file. We'll add a check for these errors in a future version.

Thank You for a quick answer! Everything works fine now.
