Incomplete Folder Location
 
:mad: By placing the incomplete folder for downloads within the shared folders you are creating an access violation within Windows when someone tries to upload a file that you are currently downloading. Causing the original download to hang up indefinitely. Is there anyway to move the incomplete folder out of the shared folder so that people don't attempt to upload it while I'm downloading?

Or could you tell these people to add the word "incomplete" to their list of exclusions?
Or to not download a file that begins with the letter "T" and a series of numbers?
Anything would be nice, this is really annoying when trying to download large files.

It's really odd that your incomplete folder is inside your shared folder. You should change this to stop this problem, as this is not a normal (or protocal compliant) setup trait for LimeWire. While Lime is not running, cut the folder from the Shared directory and paste it somewhere else, preferably to the same directory where your shared directory is (but NOT inside it). Then, uninstall LimeWire and then re-install it. LimeWire should automatically find the new location of the Incomplete folder, and will use the new location instead of the old one.

Make sure to post again if this doesn't work or a new problem arises. :-)

Thanks
 
It seams that I created the problem myself by making the downloaded folder the same as my shared folder. I just created a new shared folder and un-shared the downloaded folder and that took care of the problem.
