Default Saving Incompletes

Hi one and all, After MANY crashes and losses of Incomplete files, I have now got into a habit which others may find usefull, every time I have finished with LWire or before I use it again, I make a copy of the downloads.bak and the downloads.dat files which live in your incomplete folder(On Disc not in LWire)
I store in a seperate folder on another disc,say D or whatever letter EXCEPT C !!
and I just overwrite them every day,i.e. copy and paste.
This has saved me quite a few times when comp. freezes or crashes with LWire running,often the .bak and .dat files are lost.And you have to start from scratch.
It's a simple matter when this happens to go to other folder and copy and paste them BACK into Incomplete folder, and your off again from where you started.
Hope this helps,especially usefull for those of you with a large amount of incomplete files.
