Go to your LW menu, Tools>Options>Saving & reselect your downld folder & press apply. Else try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Also make sure you have at least LW 4.8.1

The reason for your problem is either because your preferences are corrupt or your comp crashed or you didn't close LW fully down before shutting down your computer. LW might take over a minute to close down properly. If you're impatient then you'll continue the same problem with incompletes not resuming.
