Default General questions

Hello
*no one seems to have replied to my previous post, so here it is again - my mian issue is prob i) . Pls help if u know the answer or direct me to someone that can*
i) Limewire, upon computer loading, tells me 'Sorry Limewire was unable to restart old downloads' . Whats up with this? Have i lost these download strings? Ima pretty sure i havent cos Ive looked in the Incomplte folder and they are there
ii) does limewire have a minimal disk space required on hard drive its installed on to run effectively and efficiently? ie 20gig or higher?
iii) is it possible to change were Limewire stores incomplete downloads to a different folder without re-installing limewire ?
iv) How come i can find a file name whilst browsing another persons shared files, yet not find file of same name in vairous search types from limewire main search screen?
v) what is the default folder limewire will create an incomplete folder if one doesnt change it during setup?
vi)the incomplete file folder. If one moves all files from this folder to elsewhere, then decides to move files back,,is it important to include the .bat and .bak files with same group of files? or can one say just pic an incomplete file, and move it back to the Incomplete folder ie does the incomplete file require the .bat and .bak files to be re-recognizred ny limewires main search screen?
vii)how come the peview files dont delete themselves from the incomplete folder onces download is complete?
viii) does having large amounts of files waiting to be downloaded cause instabilty in the limewire programme - is seems to in my case

Regards
Eskai

If you click on one of those incomplete files and click on resume it will resume...
As for all the other questions try using the search function, it works wonders...

You obvously have not come across this issue.
perhaps you dont realise something - when limewire tells you it cannot restart old downloads ALL listing of unfinished downloads are NO LONGER PRESENT IN LIMEWIRE SCREEN THEREFORE-therefore , ur response of 'click resume' seems,,iam not even going to bother saying.
Jeez, can someone who knows what going on, or has expereince with the issue of 'Limewire was unable to restart old downloads' reply and not just give me a snotty 'use the search function' or a a stupid reply of click resume -

Well for your information matey if you go to your incomplete folder in your limewire library you can resume from there...

wow, i do beleive we are getting somewhere. like pulling teeth.Could this be love.
Anyways
1..files were not in the Limewire library ( but yet they are on my HDD)
2..There is No option i can see to resume these files from my HDD
3..yes the incomplete strings are on my hdd as i said. They are not, however, listed within the limewire interface, nor the limewire library incomplete files partition.

So i did the following
:- moved all mi incomplete strings elsewhere. Rebooted. Moved strings back in incomplete folder ( including .bak & .dat files ) . Rebooted. The result was - whilst they do not appear within the limewire main interface, they did however appear in the limewire library incomplete files partition, but when one selects 'Resume' one is told 'file ????? is not a valid incomplete folder and cannot be resumed'.
As to my other questions, i guess the word 'limewire forum' is dabateable. 'Forum' being a place where people can come discuss issues, ask questions, receive answers yes?
As compared to a 'Library' where one searches for info/data with little to no assistance

You are a bit rude in your replies and quite frankly have deserved every response you have gotten WW answered you questions correctly in her first response and you came back with a rude response.

Obviously incapable of understanding the instructions or the concept of going to you hard drive and finding the incomplete folder and clicking on a file. (Or to Lazy to do it.) By the way if you would have responded to the LOTR in this manner the odds are you would have been Banned by now.

Lastly, and iam serious, (we all got better things to do,,maybe) i cant help but wonder, after all these replies etc,,wouldnt it have been quicker just to have answered my questions? but again , that is kinda beside the point as i now am familiar with the term 'Forum' which is a search engine, if only i was told earlier. I shall no doubt find all the answers there somewhere, thank you so very much for your time.
You were told in the first post to use the search. Once again incapable of understanding the instructions. (Or too Lazy)

Look here you lazy piece of SH*T...Read the freakin FORUM RULES and abide by them....
Well it happens at times but I would bet that if you were a volunteer here and got a response like the one you left. There is a pretty good chance the same thing would have happened. And with the attitude you have shown here my guess is 100% chance.

Now my attitude is after reading this thread is you can take a flying leap off a cliff. Why on earth would I or anybody else help a person like you.

Good Luck In Life

okay ive looked at a few things. specifically 1st 2nd and 3rd posts.
Maybe i didnt explain succintly, when i said my incomplete files had disappeared yet they were still in my folder - what I meant was- from the main limewire screen, they had disappeared ( ie from the 'search tab ').
Yes in my HDD incomplete folder they were still there. I Guess WW was referring to 'Resume' from the Library tab ( which, until mid post, i was not familar with in -any- way ). I thought she was telling me to 'Resume' a file that i had just said wasnt there.
Also it is not, in any way shape or form, possible to resume by clicking on an incomplete file in -my- HDD,, maybe its different in other peoples.
So -if- the above case if correct, and WW presumed i would know to goto the 'Library' tab, and responded with that in mind - I will apoligize to WW for my rude response. It stemmed from my ignorance of the system, how it works, and a feeling of being fobbed off (Note : i had never used the search button, within the Forum before, didnt really know its significance). And no i didnt read the Forum rules when I first entered the forum, who does? I assumed it was like what the word 'Forum' means, a place to discuss things, ask questions etc.). That cos iam new, and inexperienced.
As for the rest of my post,, iam not so sure i can apoligize for it all. Consider you are the professionals in this field, and you deal with inexperience/ignorant people - there is a way to do things when dealing with a naturally and understandably ignorant/ inexperienced people, in this case me. i dont expect mind readers but but i dont think its beyond the realm of reason for me to assume that a person that was could see that i wasnt all knowing and furthermore, see/guess **where** i may be coming from, / doing wrong. and thus diffuse the situation with knowledge ( i mean really- how many new people use the 'Library tab' or the 'Forums search' tab). But that doesnt excuse me, there is a way, even for and ignorant/inexperienced person to act.
But some of my points are valid, additionally, 2 wrongs dont make a rhyme.
I no longer wish to continue this post - its getting way kinda lame now. Iam moving on. Ive apoligized somewhat, and I, to some extent , admit the error of my ways. Sorry also i broke the forum rules, I only broke them from not knowing them. WW on the other hand knew the forum rules, and whilst telling me of them, decided to break her own rules. That is not professional. Now I am aware of them, iam cool with them. Pls no more reponses, i tend to feel obliged to respond, and truly, this post is now a waste of this forums space - iam sure there are lots of new people needing help to their questions
Btw Grandpa - to answer your questions/statements in order - 1,,I believe i mentioned somewhere (prior to this current post ) in this whole muck that i had tried going to HDD and resuming - dontwork - but thank you for trying to insult me ( too lazy too ). very professional. 2 I beleive if LOTR hadve been first to reply this whole thing would not have escallated to thispoint 3,, trying to insult again, not worth my time, 4,,highly doubtful . 5,,not necessary, not asked nor will be again.
Enuf!
