If you were downloading 58GB it sure wasn't Gnutella, so why use an inferior Gnutella client instead of a proper BitTorrent program. Download Vuze (Azureus) or uTorrent and never do such stupid thing as using Limewire to download a 58GB sized torrent again ever.

That's how you prevent it.

You can try file recovery software to maybe retrieve the files, but there are no guaranties.

Well, the problem wasn't the downloading, it was what happened after the download. I got the whole file. But for some unknown reason Limewire decided to dump the whole thing. I'll try another system, but if you are so against Limewire, why are you in this forum?


Thanks, I tried that today, but Limewire deleted them so thoroughly it was as if they were formatted over. I recovered all of them, but most are totally unplayable now, and they are totally out of sequence. I'll have to start over...
