Why won't LW resume incomplete file anymore? PLEASE HELP.SE
 

New version won't continue incomplete dl's

Hello Everyone:

I just updated LW from version 2.8.6 to the latest one (3.4). In my previous version, when I was unable to download a complete file in one sitting, LW simply picked up where it had left off the next time I opened it (as long as I did a new search that yielded a file with the same name and the same size).

This feature no longer works for me since updating. Now it just starts the download from the very beggining again. As I have a slow modem connection, (and LW feezes frequently, forcing me to quit and restart) it was the only way I was able to successfully download any, I repeat ANY, complete file.

Is there a way to make this feature work again? Has this feature been removed from the new version, or is this a glitch in the installation? Alternatively, is there a site I can go to for downloading the older version?

Any help would be appreciated. Without that feature Limewire is totally useless to me.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Daniel

Not that anyone was offering help anyway, but never mind, no need to respond to my plea for help anymore. I figured out the problem. Either it was an installation issue or a problem with the 3.4 beta version. I dowlnloaded 3.3.5, and LW is working normally again. Daniel

epainter, if you would be so kind as to try installing the 3.4.1 beta again and see if the problem was the installation or the actual version, it would be very helpful.

Thanks.

PROBLEM WITH CONTINUED D/L
 

Moed times than not, if your sytem locks up - DO NOT SHUT DOWN LW - simply re enter the very same title you wer originally looking for. The longer you are on-line the more others will find you. This will simply help to give things a little bit of a helping hand and get you farther down the path to a full DL.

I would suggest though, if at all possible, go to high speed DL such as Cable or alse a DSL. Most companies provide the modem for you at no extra cost

Good Luck
