Limewire crashes and can't reload downloads upon restart

[jyafink]

Limewire always crashes. It may be minutes, hours, or days, but it eventually does. When I restart the computer and open Limewire again, I get an error message saying it can't find the old downloads. Even with broadband I can rarely complete a download because I always have to search and start the download over again. Why can't Limewire find the old downloads that were already in progress? Sometimes it does, but mostly it doesn't.
