Could Not Move To Library???????????
 

I am running limewire pro and I waste alot of time downloading software and it always says after the download that it could not move the file to the library in the status bar. This is really
starting to yank me off. It happens every time. Does anybody no a fix for this? I have gotton a resoponse back from limewire that says its because the program names are to complex? How is the word Adobe to complex? Hopefully sometime someone will write a good download program for the MAC like Kazaa for windows. You don't even get a complete description of files you search for. Please advise to any possible fixes thanks.

I am running a G3 800 with 640 megs of ram brand new on OSX

There are certain characters in the name of the file that your operating system does not allow.

Previously there weren't many clients sending any special chars but since that has changed you are likely to see those errors. The next version that is probably going to be released next week, should fix this.

"can't move to library
 

I am having the same downloading problem, but only with larger files, say over 30 megs I am on a G4 Imac sys 9.2 124meg actual ram, running 500 virtual memory..........xcept for this problem limewire is great!!, but this is frustrating and shall we say "limiting:

I'm having this problem all the time now with 2.8.6 and I'm using the same PC that I have been using in the past when it worked.
If it is my PC then what is the problem with it so I can fix it. I'm using XP Home.
Most of my downloads are failing due to this problem.

Not Limewire's problem
 

I sent an email to support. They still think this is a user problem and not a problem with Limewire.

Email follows with my response:

Hi Bill,

This is usually the result of either downloading a file with an
incredibly large name or rogue characters in the name, trying to
download to a full disk, or downloading to a directory to which you
don't have administrator rights. Please try the following:

Press Kill Download
Select the Incomplete folder, in the Library, and select Resume.

Thanks,

My Response:
Dear Zenzele,

Don't get me wrong because I'm a loyal Limewire user and have been over many
years and I know a form response when I see it.
This is not a problem with my PC or the file....it is Limewire.
I switched to BearShare and was able to download the very same files on the
very same PC. I don't like BearShare's interface and prefer Limewire but
BearShare is working.
You can't simply blow this off as a user problem. Please fix it so I can use Limewire.

Bill

I just got a reply from my reply:

Folks! They are not reading the support emails. They see "can not move to library" and send the standard response even to replies.

They don't say they are looking into it or the fix is coming in the next version. I only hear that from the moderators.

Maybe they are too busy counting the money from Pro sales but they can count me out for now.
I really liked Limewire.

It's more or less fixed in 2.9 beta

I'll keep checking for a new release of Limewire Pro because I'm paid up for a few more months. I'll keep using BearShare until then.
Thanks
