Question Unable to complete downloads

This is the main reason that I will not upgrade to pro.

(...and don't any of you "senior members" try telling me that, "You can try to find the same file and start downloading it again".)

That's fine when you are trying to download one specific file, but when I'm on this I'm usually downloading a large number of small (but quite specific) files for sampling purposes. When (not if) Limewire crashes the "smart download" never resumes and I am left with an "incomplete" folder full of useless garbage because this programme cannot drag-n-drop and/or recognize it's own partially downloaded files. In most cases this means searching for and trying to reacquire not one but dozens of files (and since the search tabs dissapear when the download tanks, that's usually even more difficult). I'm begining to think that this technology must've peaked with Hotline.

So if I have this straight...
If you want a scratchy mp3 of "mad dogs and englishman" use Limewire. If you want a reliable p2p file transfer solution, look elsewhere 'cause this lime sucks lemons.

Bummer. I was hoping for something different.
