Hallo,
I've got a tiny problem... I mean it doesn't put me out of my sleep, but I'd like everything to work as fine as possible everywhere, so here it is :
I'm on OS X 10.4.1, and recently updated to LW 4.11.2 Pro.
Everything works fine, exept one tiny defect: on the "downloads" window, there are indications of :Name, Size, Status, Progress, Speed, and Time. And, in the Progress column, I can only see 0% for every file... even if, verifying at the library for the uncomplete files, I've got now 6 of them, indicating from128 ko to 701 Mo... I'm well aware that some time, only the place for those (for instance) 701 Mo is there, but empty... but when I try to preview them, I've got some sort of a bit of a film, sometime quite a few minutes long... so, there is definitely something on those files, inspite of the 0% indication... Should I just choose to re-download LW ?...
By the way, just in writing that post, came back to my mind an other odd thing... that one in fact had started even before I got the new update, it started when passing from OS 10.3.5 to OS X 10.4.1, and the new LW took the relay !
It continuously creates a folder which existed before I updated to tiger. It is located in the folder "users": a folder at my previous user name (just under the actual folder with my actual name), it contains a folder called "LimeWire", which contains a folder called "incomplete", which contains 3 unfinished downloaded files (0 ko each).
So, I did verify all prefs, and I also must add that in fact, when files are downloading, they got to the right place, not those folders.
I tried also over and over again to just erase those folders, and to put them in the garbage, but they come back very soon, generally, following an action in LW.
So I would very much appreciate some advise for those two things, if someone has an Idea.

First, the incomplete folder is set in the options under Saving. LW can only use one incomplete folder, and it looks like you are dealing with several.

So, you have an old incomplete folder (probably from the last system), and a new one. Just set the Preferences to Save to the one you want, then delete the other.

This will probably also fix the problem with the incomplettes not resuming, becasue LW is confused and the info linking to the file has become corrupted (or is using the wrong info, wich is stored in the downloads.bak and downloads.dat files).

I'm guessing you may also have multiple LimeWire Preferences folders, in the Home Library and the Hard disk's Library.

If it isn't too much bother, finding and deleting all those other Preferences folders will give you a clean start, but that means having to reset all the prefs again.

cheers--and see about running Apple's Update: 10.4.1 is now at 10.4.6. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303410

Thanks, stief, for your reply, I'm going, just now, to follow your advice, I guessed it was something like that, but didn't know where to look for this (those) preference folder. As for the updating my OS, shure I will, but I'm having some trouble at the moment in restarting, so, as long as that is not resolved, I'm trying to avoid unnecessary restarts... apart of that, the updates are in my folders ready to be.

Hi Stief,
well, I tried to do what you said, and to delete the prefs (I seem to remember though, that I'd done that allready for LW)... and full of hopes restarted LW.
but as soon as it restarted, that folder reappeared on my disc (and by the way the progress of the downloaded files still showed 0% on the client).
In deleting the prefs, I could find only one such folder, in my library, and nothing at the HD lib.
Also, you're mentionning the incomplete folder under saving, but I did really investigate every corner of those prefs... they ask there, where to save files (I guess that is complete files and I choosed a location called "complete folder"). And as for the only mention of uncomplete files, it is, on that same window : the choice to delete automatically the downloaded files, and in how many days... Nothing about selecting the location of it.
So, I'm about at the same point, and wondering where the hell can be that recorded old memory or old pref folder !

Just one more datum about that story : in that continuously created folder : My previous home folder's name/LimeWire/Incomplete, and with the 3 empty files, there is no "downloads.bak" and "downloads.dat" files, and, those 3 files are also present uncompleted (but with some Mo of data on it, that means in a newer state) in my true incomplete folder. thanks anyway.

I'll try to figure this out later: thanks for the info.

Thanks, but now I think I've managed the second problem... thinking of your mention of it, I opened (with textEdit) the "download.back" and the "downloads.dat", and there, I found some localisations to that ghost folder... well I did erase them one by one, been very careful not to erase anything else, and, after a restart of LW, nothing happened, the folder that I had put in the garbage didn't come again to haunt my HD...
Appart of that, I still have 0% of download indicated on the window, but, I did test on a short thing or two (there is lot of short files about ufos!), and they indicate correctly, up to 100% when finished. So, what about the few still here, and not indicating anything ? I seem to remember, that they are like that since I did a restructuration of my all PC (Portable Computer) and had to copy them to reboot them... (I'm not quite shure that was or not the time I did trough MFR), but I guess that if I remove them, everything will be OK from now on.
Thanks anyway.
