Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Move downloads from one PC to another I want to start using LimeWire on a different PC than I am currently using. The last time I did this, I lost all the incomplete downloads and had to start those from scratch. Is there a way to move the Incomplete folder to a different PC and have LimeWire pick up where it left off? Thanks in advance for your help.  |

| Yes, copy the Incomplete folder inclusive the dat and bak files. And then you move the copied folder. The shared folder and the Incomplete folder are usually stored in the same place.(i.e. for me: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\ ) Limewire needs those to files to know which parts it has already downloaded.

| That didn't work 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. |

| It can probably be a little tricky. What I'd suggest is ... install LW on the new computer, then close LW. Then replace the incomplete folder or its contents with the incomplete folder from the old computer. Then open LW again & it should be fine. If you attempt to move the incomplete files whilst LW is open then yes you will definitely run into problems! Besides, you still probably have a backup of the downloads.dat & .bak files so replace the newer ones. LW 4.12.4 has the ability to continue old downloads if you resume them from the Library window incomplete folder by selecting the incomplete files & pressing Resume. |

 Incomplete Downloads seen as 0% after Reinstall 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 11:59 AM. |

| Pointman 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 |

 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 |
