Windows XP home SP2, filesystem is working perfectly as far as any other applications are concerned, gigs of free disk space and the file I went to download was only tens or hundreds of K ... in short, there's no rational explanation for this error.
A filesystem error can also occur when the filename of the file to download is invalid with regard to your filesystem, e.g. a filename such as "../text.txt" exposes such an error.

On top of that, there's another serious bug that completely prevents me from downloading these files even using an alternate name -- the file browser will not navigate to subfolders of Limewire's own folder. It comes up in My Documents instead of the download directory, and when I try to navigate to the latter, I get to Program Files, double click Limewire, and it consistently just redraws the list of folders in Program Files. There's no way to get to Limewire\Shared! It simply isn't possible!
When you choose to download a file by clicking the "Download As..." menu item, a filechooser pops up, proposing to save the file in the download folder for its mediatype or the default download folder.

I tried reproducing your actions and had no problems navigating into the C:\Program Files\LimeWire\ folder.

Please make sure the LimeWire folder is readable and accessible and also writable in case you want to download files to it.
