LimeWire does not send automated requeries anymore, so if you try to resume a file it goes into "Awaiting Sources"-mode. - You will have to search for the file manually and the download will eventually resume if LimeWire encounters another download location for this file.

Thanks trap_jaw4
 

Hi trap_jaw4,

Your reply is quite usable for me. But since we are in the forum, can we have some improvement to have auto-search for those incomplete download files to auto-start the downloading upon file availability???

If I use the Incomplete folder and click the Resume, still the same, it will start back to 0% even i have been gone through until 76% from my previous connection status.

Cheers and thanks!

Hello,

LimeWire is a great program (staring with 3.0) and its getting better and better

Searches are fast, downloads are fast, and everything works great. You are really the best gnutella client out there!

Anyways, I would REALLY appreciate if you added auto-resume capabilities to LimeWire. Without this feature LimeWire looks primitive as every other program has it. Auto-resume is really important because I cannot finish a file in LimeWire if I leave LW with a file transfer...everything goes back to 0% when I try to resume..

Now please tell me, would any noobs know that they have to manually search for a file? It's really a hassal and I really think you should add Auto-Resume, its one of the great features of a program where it automatically searches for sources and downloads the file without your help

I would also like One more thing, can you show the Transfer Rates with decimals like 45.65KB/s instead of the rounded 46KB/s?
I'm used to that decimal one and so are many I know so If you can add these 2 requests to LW that would truly be great.

Thank you,

I hope the LW team is as good as the program!

Which version are you using? This shouldn't happen.

sam--I've seen this happen occasionally, but once the dl starts, the % jumps to the correct level.

Hi sberlin,

I am currently using 3.1.0 Pro (beta). Initially, I am using 3.0.2Pro. Due to the problem anticipation, i thought that the problem will be resolved so I intend to use the beta release, but the problem still the same.

Hope to have this feature.

Hi stief,

This never happens in early versions like what you have said.

Cheers!

hi dondon
This happened like I said. Some (not all) large incompletes resumed from the library pane showed no progress until a repeat search started them connecting. Then either the % or the colour on the progress bar jumped to the correct level.
Cheers.

NEED REPLY FROM LIMEWIRE DEVELOPER
 

It really gives me an impression that there is something missing if there is no continuous downloading.

It is also quite demoralizing if you start back to 0 % after 96% completion from the previous day.

My point is not all the LimeWire user will understand the explanation given. There must be an improvement when it comes to the application design.

As long as the file is available and the file belongs to the same groun no matter who is the owner in the network, the dopwnloading should proceed back to previous ended percentage.

Any reaction from the developer??

Here comes the ol' GUI v. Core (or whatever you call the actual program, w/o GUI) debate.

[Edit] I hate to start this up again. I certainly have issues with the Limewire GUI, and I have been and still am an advocate of many GUI things, such as an in-program help menu, and a bunch of other little things, however, at this point of LW's development, the developers (without passing judgement on them, for I know nothing of such things) are more concerned with developing and strengthening the methods of file transfer, reducing the bandwith load on ultrapeers and other issues.

FYI--my connection problems turned out to be a flaky modem I'd been using for years (LanCity), a horrible replacement (Com21) and now one that works SMC8002CM--aka DOCSIS.

So the advice now for people with persistent broadband connection problems: Rule out the modem!
