during the install i mucked up where my old folders had been. i deleted the new (empty) incomplete folder thinking i could tell limewire where my old folder was, this worked with my shared folder. i have since put the old incomplete folder where the new one was deleted from. in limewire library the incomplete files show up in red.
there is a specific file i have been downloading for ages and it is in my incomplete. when i searched for it it used to just resume. now, the download starts from 0%. any chance i can save another 1 1/2 weeks grind? i am really sure the file is from the same source and everything, it has a really specific name, there is always only 1 user sharing it etc.

The vital file that controls this is the download.dat (& .bak) files. If you still have the old ones, then drop both the download.dat & download.bak files into the incomplete folder whilst LW is CLOSED. Must only do it whilst LW is closed.

If you don't have them then unfortunately it's mucked up.

thank you, once again, lord. awesome
