downloads starting from scratch when resuming
 

Every single time i get a file half downloaded and turn my computer off and the next day go to resume it, it resumes from the begining, im thinking about just sticking with shareaza this is bull.

reloading downloads
 

exactly! how do u reload partially downloaded files into limewire??
i can't figure it out...

go to the library->incompletes, select the incomplete file, hit resume.

Go to your LW menu, Tools>Options>Saving & reselect your downld folder & press apply. Else try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Also make sure you have at least LW 4.8.1

The reason for your problem is either because your preferences are corrupt or your comp crashed or you didn't close LW fully down before shutting down your computer. LW might take over a minute to close down properly. If you're impatient then you'll continue the same problem with incompletes not resuming.
