Unhappy trouble re-connecting for downloading a movie

I was downloading a movie but suddenly i was rebooted. On re-starting my computer, I tried to restart the download, but it wont start. I can see many files of the same movie (created by aXXo), but I cant restart the download.

I have already downloaded about 75% and dont want to start afresh.

Can anybody help???

Thanks

Try restarting it from your "Incomplete Files" in the LW Library page. Right click on the file and have it "Resume". Then search for the file again from the search page. If it says "Needs More Sources", right click on the file and have it "Find More Sources".

I did all that and it won't start downloading.

I searched the movie by it's name and found the file being downloaded at multiple places by lots of users, but my file simply doesn't connect

Please help!

Try checking the file on Bitzi. Right click on the file and go to Advanced>Lookup File with Bitzi, and see if it's been rated.

It's possible you were d/loading a version of the file that had only one host and that person hasn't been back on LW. If that's the case, it could be a while before you connect to them again. You may want to start a fresh d/load with a file that has several hosts available. Check the file with Bitzi before you start d/loading.
