where is my shared folder?
 

i am a newbie to limewire, i just downloaded the version 3.1.0 a few days ago and i was wondering if anyone could answer my questions. when you download a file, after it's finished it's supposed to go to the shared folder, right? well when i look in my library there is no shared folder! although it says i am currently sharing 3 files... where is the shared folder supposed to be? help!

Go to - Tools, Options, Sharing and Limewire will show you the path to your shared directory. If you didn't specify a different place the default path is usually

C:Program Files\Limewire\Shared

That depends on your OS, - I think. On Windows XP for example you won't find it there.

I believe Trap_jaw4 is correct. If you are running XP it probably locates in your Documents and Settings folder.

Tools, Options, Sharing will show you.

thanks! i found my shared folder! but i have one more question: it looks like limewire only shares my incomplete files.. is this right? and if it is, why?

No, you shouldn't share your incomplete files.

You should set up to share your completed downloads. If your incomplete directory is in your shared list you should remove it.

how do i put my shared folder into my library? plz help ... thanks

Go to preferences, and choose your shared folder as the one you want.

uhhh... where is preferences supposed to be?

On my LW, it's in Limewire and then preferences. Just look in all of your file menus.

At the top of your Limewire screen choose - TOOLS, OPTIONS, SHARING

Bless you, Norm...
A voice of reason arises...

i did it! i think ... i'd just like to check if i did this right ... (i now have limewire 3.2) i went to Tools, Options, Sharing, i clicked on "add", browsed my computer to where my shared files are kept, and clicked select. Now in my library there is an incomplete folder and and a shared folder. i am currently sharing 57 files. so i'm guessing i did this right?? Thanks so much!

Yes, It sounds like you got it fine.

Happy downloading.

Can't change my save directory since I got the update. But I still share the 400 files in the folder that sits on my desktop. I'd like that to be the place where all of my files go, but it won't let me switch... Any suggestions? Thanks.

You should be able to create a directory anywhere you want to save files.

In Limewire go to - TOOLS, OPTIONS, SAVING - now navigate to your desired directory and click on apply.

Good Luck,
