cannot move to library
 

Help I am a newbie and just downloaded LW yesterday. I sucessly downloaded a lot of songs but today I kept getting corrupt files all the time. Now it does not tell me it is corrupt but for some reason all the songs I am downloading cannot be moved to the library. They go to the incomplete folder. I can play these songs so I don't know what the problem is. Further more when I was getting corrupt file popups it was from all connections not just T3's. A few songs made it into the library today but they are all in red. What does this mean????
Was having major problems with Kaaza Lite and most songs I started to download had problems. They were like 25 min long and would not play. So I found Limewire and it worked wonderful for the first day. Now I am sad as the same problem is happening here.

Hi gertie12
To find your downloads go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Saving & make sure this is where you set it to be. Go there. Have a look inside & see if your files are there. The only files that show in the LW library are the Shared folders, Incomplete folder & only if you have the new version LW there will also be a folder called Saved Files which show which files have completed dwnlding. To know which folders you're sharing go to Tools>Options>Sharing & this will list the folders you are sharing.
If you're receiving an error message that files cannot locate library, then it sounds like this option is incorrect. Check your Tools>Options>Saving option & if it's correct, try re-selecting that folder & clicking Apply & OK buttons. Your Saving folder (LW's Dwnld folder) & Incomplete folder must be at the same directory level. eg: C:\Documents and Settings\gertie12\Shared & both incomplete & Saving folder will/should be here. If you've chosen somewhere else that's fine but make sure both these LW folders are at the same level. It is not a good idea to change dwnld location if you still have incomplete files. If you do, you should quit LW & move ALL the files from the previous Incomplete folder (including downloads.dat & bak to the new incomplete folder. Otherwise LW might get confused!

As far as files in RED, search the forum for RED. When you 1st open up LW all incomplete & shared files will be red in the library whilst LW takes time to account for them all. But if they're still red after 30 mins then there's a problem with them.
