How To Resume Incomplete Files
 

HI

I'am using limewire PRO 4.14.10 sometime i get old downloads cannot be loaded as soon as i start limewire. now i have some incomplete files which are not in the limewire library. how can i resume it???????????

HI
WHEN I LOAD LimeWire PRO 4.14.10 SOMETIMES IT GIVES AN ERROR SAYIN CANT LOAD PREVIOUS DOWNLOADS AND ALL FILES IN LIBRARY GET DELETED. BUT INCOMPLETE FILES R STILL PRESENT IN ITS LOCATION.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RESUME THOSE DOWNLOADS

Go to Library window, at bottom of window you will see Incomplete folder, click it open. Then select all (hold down shift key), then press Resume button. This will force them back into the download window. They will all show zero percentage downloaded until they actually start downloading again upon which time their previous download % will show. :)

It gives the impression your LW is not shutting down properly after closing it at end of a session. Make sure LW is set to close immediately in settings. Wait a few mins at least before shutting down computer. :)

If you have a large number of incomplete files, then it would be well worth doing this: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link). It will help get rid of the possibility of any fakes you accidentally downloaded which can cause LW havoc.

Posts were Merged because they were double-posts. I had already answered one of them.

Hey My Problem Is I Cant See Any Files In Incomplete Window Of Limewire (its Empty). But Files R Still In The Folder.

Did you click on the incomplete folder in the Library window? If there's an arrow there you may need to click on it.
Did you select the incomplete folder & press Explore (that will open the folder up, else the parent directory folder) ?

Did you update your LW & find some files missing? It might be because LW now stores them in a different location; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...downloads.html

If your incomplete files are older than a certain age then LW may ignore them (removed them from its download history records), see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post326274

I DID NOT UPDATE.
MY PROB IS WHEN I LOADED LIMEWIRE IT DIDNT LOAD PREVIOUS LIST IT'S EMPTY ITS MAKING A NEW LIST IN THE SAME FOLDER (IT HAD OVERWRITTEN downloads.dat & downloads.bak). NOW I NEED TO RESUME DOWNLOADING FILES WHICH WERE IN THE PREVIOUS LIST. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN DO IT.

If you have a copy of the old Downloads.dat & .bak files, replace the newer ones in the incomplete folder. This must be done whilst LW is closed.

I have no idea why you are not seeing incompletes in the incomplete folder though in the LW Library window. Whether they are being utilised or not by LW you should still be able to see them. Only thing I could think of is either your download location changed, else if either permissions changed for that folder that disallow you access to utilise the files in it.

Ok Thanks Anyway. From Now On I Will Backup Those Files.
Thank You.
