Angry Resume download doesn't work properly!

I'm running Limewire 2.2.4 on Mac OS 9.2.2

The resume function is absolutely essential on modem dialup connections as the chances are the line will go down during any reasonable-sized download. In Limewire, it doesn't work properly.

Firstly, the Connect function in the file menu doesn't seem to work - you have to do it manually by adding connect1.gnutellanet.com (or other similar addresses) in the connection window.

Secondly, the Force Resume button doesn't seem to do anything

Thirdly, Limewire almost never manages to recognise incomplete files and invariably begins to write a new copy - which if the incomplete file is 28Mb of a 30Mb file on a modem dialup connection makes you want to throw the computer out of the window. I've tried trashing the new file and giving the previous version the same filename, but that doesn't work.

Limeware should store the IP addresses (from the search) of all the servers that had the partially downloaded files in the Incomplete folder.

There should be a resume button in the Library window which you can click on to automatically reconnect and resume an incomplete download by cycling through the stored list of IP addresses. There should also be an option to automatically search for the file if the servers are no longer available.

You should be able to double click on an incomplete file and Limeware should automatically open and resume downloading the file.
