Hmm I'm not sure if an apple script could do this. If you know how to use apple script it might be handy. In any case, it might be an idea to backup the downloads.dat & .bak files every day or few hours. I do keep backups for when I run different versions of LW. Since changing backward in versions can corrupt the downld prefs. Keep that in mind!

I know what you mean with the much earlier versions of LW the downld prefs did seem to corrupt very easily. A total PIA b/c I was also on dial up.

Yes it's possble the issue is with LW 4.2.x I also recall there was such an issue with an earlier version. I also recall LW 4.2 had problems. Whether it was the same I can't remember. I think the earliest 4.9 version had this issue in the extreme. LW 4.8.1 was much better than LW 4.2 so if you update & have problems, let us know & I can send you a copy of an earlier version. But it'd also be good to try to solve the issues of any new version 1st. BTW which OS version are you running?
