My best guess is that your library files have been damaged. You should separate
your downloads from your shared files anyway, so that the library doesn't bloat and
break down again. In freepeers.ini (C:\Program Files\BearShare\FreePeers.ini) change
the Completed downloads folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\My
Documents\My Music\) to something else like "C:\My Downloads". Then, in the
/db/ folder:
Code:
Directory of C:\Program Files\BearShare\db
07/08/2007 07:22 PM <DIR> .
07/08/2007 07:22 PM <DIR> ..
