If you cancel your dwnlds from the search/dwnld window, you can force resume from the lib. windows's incomplete files. However, deleting them from the latter is a problem! Unless anybody else on the forum has any suggestions, I'd suggest you do what you suggested. I don't know if utilities will be able to recover such lost files either. And also the LW.dat file might have recorded your actions - LW's techs might know about that. (I don't suppose you did any kind of a backup before hand?) I also use a dial-up modem (I'm considering broadband)!
