"Undo" a Killed Download?
 
This morning, when I meant to hit the "Find Sources" button, I inadvertently hit the "Kill download" button instead, which is right next to the one I meant to hit...thus killing all (100+) downloads that I had In Progress.

Is there a way of "undoing" that delete action? I see that some, but not all, of the incomplete files are still in the "Incomplete" folder though.

1) Is there a way to recover the ones that AREN'T showing up there?
AND
2) Is there a way to Resume those aciidentally Killed files?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

100+ dlds, huh? What kind of speeds do you get with 100+ dlds?
Anyway, you can resume the killed dlds. Since there is no "pause dld" function in Lw, you have to resort to Killing them temporarily anyway so here's how to resume them: go to the Library's Incomplete folder and choose which dld you want to resume and click the resume button. Simple as that.
Unfortunately, I don't think that you can retrieve completely deleted incomplete dlds, unless you have some kind of application that does that kind of job (they do exist it seems).

Thank you
 
...for the assist.

I've been using LW since the "early days", but had gotten away from it over the course of the last year or so. Hence, I've forgotten alot of what was once "automatic" for me. As soon as you decribed the procedure, I promptly smacked myself on the forehead (ala Homer Simpson: "Dooh!").

As for the download speeds, believe it or not, I don't really pay that much attention to them as I typically launch LW when I'm going to bed for the night, or when leaving the house for work in the morning. Therefore it's only running when I'm NOT there. When I actually need to use the computer for other tasks, I typically quit LW until I'm through. Then I relaunch the application during times when "I" am idle, or off, the machine.

Yeah, I guess you can avoid experiencing a very slow performance on acount of your Mac when you quit LW (and P2P apps in general): they seem to slow it down a lot, even with increased RAM.
