This may or may not work

If you still have those incomplete files backed up, try replacing them again after having resumed the downloads along with the downloads.dat file (While Limewire is closed of course)

good luck

Thumbs up 0% files fixed for Me

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
