G'Day from Australia to all you wonderful people, please take it easy on me because this is my first post. I hope you can help me how do I save incomplete downloads for use later on. I must mention the fact that I am 68 years old and I am not tech. savvy so if you have an answer for me please give me a step by step information. Thanking you in advance.

You can find your incomplete files in a folder specified in your Shareaza settings under Downloads. After copying the path under "Store Temporary Incomplete Files Here", you can go to that folder by simply pasting it into the address bar of your Windows Explorer. When accessing this path, you will find .partial and .partial.sd files with strange names. These are your incomplete files. Feel free to copy them wherever you like for further use. If you wish to remove them, you may need to close Shareaza first.

In order to reuse them at a later time, check the used folder again (as it may differ), make sure Shareaza is not running and copy the files you previously backed up to that folder.

Only for side information: only .partial files that also have a .partial.sd file with an identical name are valid. .partial files without an sd file are partial download corpses that have been produced in the past by some errors of the software.
