Well even if this is the Limewire sub-forum, I am still staff here, including in this sub-section, so I had some choices:

1. Ignore and let someone else answer, probably giving the same answer BTW.
2. Tell you to go to Limewire forums beta support and be lied to.
3. Actually give you sound advise, which I feel I did.

Which do you prefer, so I know what to do next time?

No actually, I appreciate your advice, and tried Vuze instead. The ability to pick and choose what I will download out of torrent will save me a lot of time.

But once again, I'm just pointing out there are no other limewire forums to go to (at least not that I can find). When you go to forum.limewire.org, and choose technical support, it takes you directly to this forum instead.

I had a similar thing happen to me. All my partially complete files would not show up as downloads when I restarted Limewire. I got an error message. I found them in the imcomplete file area. Hitting resume made them restart at 0% complete.
