Got a similar problem on mac os x 10.4 (tiger):
LimeWire Pro 4.9.37 (with java 1.4.2) crashed 2 times in the past 6 weeks, and asked for basic settings to be entered again (language to use, location of shared folder, ...) at relaunch. All my incomplete files are NOT recognized anymore although some were almost complete and very difficult to find (weeks of bit-searches!)...
ALL incomplete file names appear in red text (instead of black), they still have their initial (before-crash) incomplete file-size... but as I launch them again to complete them, they appear as 0%, when some were 80%, 90% or whatever close to be complete!
Sure, my computer was running on its own, when I noticed that it had no space (storage memory) left, and decided to quit limewire and restart my computer. Maybe there was no space left to update these 2 "vital files" dat & .bak, that you are talking about.
But why then, after making space on my disk again, and launching LimeWire again, doesn't the program automatically refresh the informations about incomplete files correctly?
And why can't I complete them, as they appear in red text (in the incomplete files' library)?
Thanx for your suggestions!

Why move the files? If you're going to move anything, move the folder. There's 2 vital files withing the incomplete folder called download.dat & .bak which are your downld preferences & keep track of what % of the files have been downlded & what the files are. Without them, LW won't know what files are in the incomplete folder despite they might be 80% downlded. So, if you're going to move the incomplete files, move the entire contents else the folder itself.
As already suggested, you can hide folders using the system admin options in the control panel. Also, there's 3rd party programs that can hide files/folders. How about making the incomplete folder invisible. |
