4.18.3 incomplete downloads from previous version - Found A FIX !
 

Hi, I just recently upgraded and my incomplete downloads from the previous version wont resume I get the following error: You are already downloading this file to (insert directory here etc)..
Problem is, when i search for the same files, it says the download is broken with that broken paper icon, which is why i try to resume and get the above error.
I don't really know what to do besides maybe rollback to a previous version, are there any other options I have and does anyone else have the same problems?
Im running XP, sp2, all java updated, spyware/adware free and regularly scan. I dont think it has anything to do with my system as it is in perfect condition.
Thanks for anyones input much appreciated.
I'm thinking this version might save files in a different way?

Kind Regards,

To resume downloading an incomplete file use Limewire's Library tab. Select "Incomplete", find your incomplete file, right click on it and select "resume".

tried that a while ago, doesn't work says its already downloading to "C:\ etc etc.."

I dont have a problem downloading a new file, which isnt in my library, just resuming ones from previous version.:confused::confused:

I have the same problem; Limewire won't resume old incompletes, even from within Limewire Library section under incompletes. If someone figures out how to fix this, please let us know.
Thanks.

I FOUND THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ok
1. Cancel the file in your downloads pane
2. Make sure you find the same file using search and it has the broken paper icon and double click on it
3. it resumes from previous and there shouldnt be any problems

Thanks nahman!
 

I found this out a couple days ago. It really does work. The only problem, and it's not very commom anyway, it that if you can't locate the same file again, it will become very frustrating. Other that that, it's perfect. As you said, it will resume at the exact point that it was interrupted. Very handy to know.

That's an olde skool solution that works with many p-p clients. The double-click in step 2 is to start the download. The "new" download will append to the data you previously downloaded. That's why it must be the same file (or an exact copy, i.e., it doesn't have to be from the same source). kewl.

I got a similar question, in my case i was downloading a torrent from LW, i had like a 95% downloaded but, because of reasons out of my control my computer turned off. When i restarted the computer appeared a message saying that i had to go to the incomplete folder and just resume the download, and it has the same broken paper icon. But when i try to resume the download it appears a new message saying: A file already exist. But it doesn't let me restart the download!! And i can't find the file using search cause i downloaded the file in other site. If i try to open again the torrent the LW show another message saying if I want to rewrite the file or make a new folder for that file. What can I do? Because i don't want to lose my 95% downloaded, it weighs 2GB!! Please, Cam you support me?
