When you click on the plus sign next to "Shared Files" doesn't another folder then show up that shows all your library files?
Like when I click on the plus sign next to Shared Files a folder called "Music Shared" shows and when I click on this all my files in the library then show up.
If a file stops downloading at 95% and it only has one source as to where that file is coming from then that means that the person who's file you are downloading has switched their computer off for the night. If there is more than one source of course LimeWire will try to get the rest of that file from one of those other sources but if it was only downloading from one source theres nothing limewire can do to make that person reconnect and let you complete your download. That's just the luck of the draw. Sometimes a file is coming from multiple sources but most often it is only coming from one source (you can see this before you start downloading by the number on the far left of the file listings) If the person you are downloading from switches his computer off or even just switches Limewire off there is nothing LimeWire can do to force that other person to let you complete your download. Your saved files now; be it audio-video-programs-documents or images are now the files that you leave in your Download folder. I think they are sorted by the file extension as to whether or not they go into one folder or the other. I'm not sure because I only save audio files and I don't keep them in the folder that they are downloaded into. When I click onto any of those folders except "Shared Files" nothing shows up - no audio no video or any of the other categories. Simply because I don't keep them in the folder that I first downloaded them into. If I wanted them to show I guess I would have to keep a copy of all the files I downloaded in that download folder otherwise they won't show up in those folders. i don't know if this is different from how LimeWire used to look because I haven't had a copy of LimeWire on my computers since about 2001. You can specify different folders for each type in the first part of the options menu "saving" so you should be able to sort them by having different folders for the different type of downloads. But in order to see them you have to leave a copy of each individual file in the download folder for that type of file. It just means that the folder you download to becomes your library folder for that type of file.
