Default Beta 4.9.7 not resuming downloads

Greetings, some people have witnessed that LimeWire downloads do not resume even when doing a search and finding a source for the file.

We'd like to get as much feedback on this as possible. Feel free to send us any information you can - here are few suggestions of what would be helpful:

1. Did you restart LimeWire after starting the download, before it got stuck? If Yes - what state was the download before you restarted, and what was it afterwards?
2. Did you click on Find more sources, and did the download ever change from "Waiting for sources..." ?
3. How many other downloads did you have active?
4. How many "Possible hosts" did the download have? If you had to restart LimeWire, did that number change?
5. Did you start the download from a search result, magnet, or did you resume it from a previous incomplete file?
6. If you did a search: did the icon on the search result for the download change to a folder or torn paper? Did the number of "Possible hosts" change after receiving the search result?

Another thing that will help us is to get a stack trace. Instructions how to do that on Windows are in a sticky thread on top of this forum.

Again, thank you for your feedback. There probably will be more information we will need to nail this bug down, so this posting may get updated.
