could the d/l resume button in LW be made to retry a "could not download" magnet entry? I gather it doesn't do anything now.

[edit--David, did you try resetting the "open with" for those files in Get Info? Shouldn't have to rescan--the data should still be there if you didn't delete them. Off-topic, so*****]

That is what it actually should do. Somehow this function that would have worked in LimeWire 2.9.5 has been disabled. I haven't investigated the problem, but I will do so in the next few days.

Correction: Resume button does work if the hosts you were downloading from were not firewalled

Just tried again with 2.9.8.2 (in case it added the resume function for magnets)
No go; no resume.

I still have a copy in my shared folder. Could that be a factor?

While going through the downloading code once again, I finally found out why the resume button won't work. If I find the time I'll write a patch to make it work again.

I'm a little tired of working on LimeWire at the moment. The the next semester starts on tuesday and I want to enjoy my Easter holidays before that.

Thanks, enjoy, and let LW and others worry about the resume patch. Best wishes in your next term. I'd recommend the Booker prize winner--Martel's Life of Pi--as some great reading to get away from gnutella hassles. It's a radical change in modern lit from Steppenwolf kinds of stuff.

Good luck with the studies
 

It's always interesting to read your posts. Thanks for taking the time to help us innocents.

Now, Stief, let's not be too hasty on this patch thingy!!!
