Unexpected Quits / Forgotten Incompletes / Lost Library
 

I'm new, hello.

Limewire 2.9.8 Pro
Mac OSX 10.2.5
PBG4 667 Mhz / 1GB / 60GB

My Shared, Saved, and Incomplete folders are all on a partition separate from my Home/boot partition, where LMP 298 lives.

Since upgrading to 2.9.8 Pro, which occurred just before or after upgrading to OSX 10.2.5;

My LimeWire Library has become fragile. This was never an issue before.

LimeWire Pro 2.9.8 decides to unexpectedly quit. Never before, dunno why.

That, or any OTHER freeze or crash, and upon re-login/reboot/or just relaunch, and LimeWire Pro 2.9.8, forgets my entire Library in the Search Queue.

Forcing me to select all Library and Resume, which works, but takes forever.

Worse, any/all incomplete downloads never resume as they did before my upgrades (above). Only new searches / new selected downloads work at all. This includes new incompletes. Since upgrading, these, too, never resume on their own...

I've encouraged Incomplete files to resume on their own by repeating the same search again and again, and clicking 'resume'.

But, once LMP 2.9.8 'forgets' it's Library, its back to square one for every file in it.

LimeWire 2.9.8 Pro has unexpectedly quit repeatedly, and I've resumed the Library each time. Then I find ALL (prior) Searched files with downloaded Status bars of 'half-done' appear as 'virgins'. Later, between successful runs of the same app LMP 298, but before unexpected quits, etc (normal day-to-day ops), I've still found that none of my half-done downloads self-resume, even when Search results suggest it is obvious that they should resume, as before Upgrades.

This list of incompletes I trim daily, and also add to, daily.

Thanks in advance for any help,

You could try to put your Shared, Saved, and Incomplete folders all on the same partition as LimeWire.

After the last time restoring the downloads list by resuming all incompletes, my (new and old) incompletes in the downloads list are inexplicably resuming on their own again.

I didn't change a thing.

Glad, but strange.
