![]() That's exactly what I did, but even though all the downloads were there, the progress on all of them was reset to 0 (zero) - all the progress was lost. I thought that was stored in the incomplete files, but LimeWire somehow didn't get the message. |

![]() Yeah Im in the same place! ![]() I belive it has something to do with the "DAT" Files located in the Incomplete folder. I had to reinstall Limewire 4.12.3 Pro When I did I had 3 Incomplete downloads & all were @ aprox 90% complete. All 3 are Movies so you know they are very large, Aprox 2.GB In total . Prior to the reinstall I copied the whole incomplete folder, DAT Files & all & placed it(the incomplete folder) onto a "External USB Hard Disc" as a backup. So I do have that in case it might do some good,mean-while I am trying to learn how to remedy this issue. After the reinstall I noticed the incomplete downloads(movies) reverted to 0% Im afraid I have lost what has taken Me many many days worth of downloading unless someone can answer this thread & tell Me what I can do to save the percentage. PS; When I Launch Limewire & select to preview 1 of the incomplete downloads that is seen @ 0% complete. I can (preview/watch) almost the whole Movie in it's entirety but Limewire still list's it as 0% complete. I know if I select resume & search for Host's I will indeed resume the download of the incomplete file, but once I do I will loose the 90% & have to start from the begining. I have seen it happen with small music files. Surely there must be a step to take prior to reinstalling limewire that will circumvent this issue. Thanx for any Help & or Direction Pointman ![]() Thanx for the Edit,sorry about that! Last edited by Pointman; August 9th, 2006 at 10:59 AM. |

![]() Sleepless"good Idea"! I know it has been a while since I first posted but I got caught up . I noticed that all the files in question had been changed! They now had a period(.) or a hyphen(-) in between each word in the file-name. Something that originally was not so. Anyhow I went in & manualy renamed them back to thier original file names & Re-launched LW & clicked on resume. Aprox 5 min's after I connected to a host I noticed that the percentage jumped back up to 90% or so like it should have! You are probably asking "how I could have noticed the periods within the file-names". Well you see I always copy the filename of the file I am downloading onto a txt file. Why? That way if I have to restart a DL the next day but can find no results, I can search with the exact same criteria that I did the day before & usually find a host. That is how & why I noticed it. Why were the file's re-named? Why would there be a period or a hyphen in between each & every word in the Filename? I don't know. But because the file-names were not the same,they would of course register as 0% complete. That's because the new(CHANGED FILENAME) was never actualy started as a Download. This is all really just conjecture(guess's) but reguardless My 0% completed downloads have all been fixed & are now complete! Thanx for your input Sleepless PS; I thought I had already answered this post sorry about the Delay! |

![]() Good to hear ![]() So the root of the problem might just be that Limewire can't read spaces very well. Then the forcecheck option that I have requested is not really needed. They can just make Limewire see every space as a period (.) PERIOD ![]() |
