Never tried it myself, but Pointman said that he got it to work.

I got it as Limewire scanning for which pieces are missing on start up. The Downloads.dat file has to be there, because it tells the program that the user is trying to download that file. With enough savvy you could probably edit the file yourself, but I'm guessing it leaves no room for error.

If you delete your incompletes, then start just one download. Download it until about half of it's finished. Now close Limewire and open the downloads.dat file using notepad (or mac equivilant). There sure isn't much info in there.

It really makes sence too, because if people with their 200 incompletes had info on every piece of every download in the downloads.dat file, then Limewire wouldn't finish working on start up.

Thanks for the info and guidance Sleepless and LOTR.
As Sleepless menitoned a couple of times 'it may not work', and indeed it didnt.
Somewhere, somehow I also lost 2/3 of incompletes.

Oh well nothing ventured...Nice to know that LW has enhancements not all of us knew of anyhow.

ciao for now

Well found the thread I was thinking of before. It seems that somehow I forgot that Pointmans downloads.dat file was just fine and he had copied it as well. So sorry about wasting your time with that copying thing:

But just incase it is that . - thing try opening the Downloads.dat folder using wordpad or something like that and have a look

Also newbee2 had some success with this (involving changing the prefs somehow:

Thanks Sleepless.
Had a look at those links/threads.

Reckon I'll just work my way back anyhow.

No waste of time, all a learning curve.

Take care out there
