Well, I tried to download a 500MB plus download from limewire. I found that when the file said, "could not move to library", that I would kill the download and restart the download, and it would pick up where it started. Sometimes it would pop the message back up immediatly, and sometimes it wouldn't. It seems to depend on who it's downloading it from.

I'm using a quicksilver g4 Mac and 2.7.3. I suggest when you get that error, search for the file. When you find the file with THE EXACT SIZE AND NAME, kill the failed download and download the new file. It should pick up from the download from where it left off. If it fails immediatly again, find the file again, kill the failed download, and start the download on the new file again. But quit the program immediatly before it connects. This will keep the program in the data. Then try again later.

This is only a suggestion. And I'm not sure if it will work on other platforms. The key elements is that the name and the size remain the same. Otherwise it will restart the download. I also set the pref's so that it will keep incomplete downloads for 60 days.

Another note: When I finished the file, the file was renamed to something along the lines of "party.mpg", which was much different from the .dmg file that I intended to download. Renaming the file, I found that the data was OK. Maybe the problem is that the file matching feature of limewire confuses the file for another of similar size, and then errors when the data doesn't match. That's just a guess. See my above gripe if you like to listen to angry rants.
