How to jumpstart an incomplete download? I will often find a file in a search that matches an incomplete download I had from a prior session... but that prior download shows as x%-stalled.... even though I am looking at the file newly searched, and it has the blue (downloading) arrow next to it, my download does not resume. When I do a "fix stalled" click, it still shows as stalled. Is there anything left to do? If I click on the blue arrow, it will highlight the file in my downloads window, but not jumpstart the download. In prior versions of limewire, if I deleted my download, and clicked the file in the search window, it would actually pick up at the %downloaded where it was, and resume... but not in this latest version, where it deletes it from the incomplete folder and starts all over again. Thanks for any helpful hints. junkie Limewire 5.5.16 pro |
Yes, deleting the download in LW 5 will delete the incomplete file also & remove it from the download preferences. LW 5 does have less options than LW 4 did such as pausing, etc. Sounds like the file you found in search results does not have 100% identical download hash & may be the same song or video but different conversion file if you know what I mean, not 100% identical. Else, the one in search results, that person's upload slots or bandwidth are full. Might be worth increasing your download slots in LW's settings. ie: LW's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Transfers, up & down settings. The Fix Stalled / Try Again, options have limited abilities. A manual search is usually far more effective. Searching for more sources as you have been doing is a very good idea. Searching as you did originally to find the file will hopefully find more sources & hopefully the identical file, not simply one with same name. Longer you leave LW on usually the better it behaves. So keep using that process of searching every now & again. People log on or off from LW all the time. Also your LW will change ultrapeers now & again so different results can be found due to the newer ultrapeer being connected to a different collection of peers & thus searches may branch out in other directions of the overall network. Oh just noticed you are a pro user, that in itself should help for the outer searches, especially rarer material. Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Performance, hopefully none of those options are disabled, especially the OOB one. |
