Again, thank you, Joakim.
Hello!

Exactly what do you mean by left off?

One problem that I could think off that would result in the fact that LW would be unable to share all the files whitin a folder are if there are to many subsequent folders(layers). If your music library folder have additional folders inside that could be a problem. Try to only use two layers in depht. LimeWire is supposed to have the ability to register and detect files as shared files as deep as 5 layers(meaning 4 layers deep + the Shared2 folder itself equals 5). But if you have more layers that would cause them to be undetected. So try to keep the shared directory as "ground" as possible.

Another problem is if you have an extremly large library of music. Mac OS 9 allows for about 32000 files whitin a folder but LW might not be so generous try to keep each shared directory under 3000 files.
