If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

What you mean is when you re-open LW there's nothing left in the Library window? Try deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions: Fixes for Limewire Also re-add your shared folders via Tools>Options>Sharing & press the Apply button after all additions & changes.

After a 2nd look at this post I realise you must be at least partly mistaken. If you have LW version 4.4 or later then you should have a folder within the Library window called Saved Files. This is default & there is no way of deleting this folder (well you wouldn't want to try.) This folder has your files that you've saved within it. Perhaps you can give us some more details & tell us which version of LW you have.

If I shut down my computer and reboot the next morning, as soon as I click on the Limeware icon on my desktop, the wizard pops up and I must reinstall everything. My incomplete files folder is now empty and I had over 100 songs waiting to be downloaded. This really makes me upset because I spen a lot of time looking for these songs ! I have ver 4.2.6

LW 4.2 6 had just those types of bugs which is why updating can be so important. LW 4.8.1 is now available! Also try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

I hope this is the proper place to reply, please forgive if not...
I tryed to delete LW preferences and then re-add shared folders via tools.. not sure if it worked because everything looks exactly the same as it did before. I went to link to update and strated the download however after 3 hours and only under 20% done, I figured that couldnt be right so i cancelled the download.

I have version 4.8.1 and yes I do have a subfolder in library called saved files and I also have a subfolder called shared files. If I am downloading music, and a song completes it goes into my library into both the folders. It also shows at main page at the bottom how many files I am sharing. When i reboot my PC and open LW...my incomplete downloads are still there but it says sharing 0 files and when i go to library my saved and shared folders are blank.. although it still shows my incomplete downloads. Also... I didnt mention this before but none of the music goes into my "my music" folder so each time a song is completed I do a search and drag it to "my music" so I can access the files via NERO5. (I tryed to access LW thru NERO5 without having to copy to "my music" however although I could get to LW there were no files to drag to copy to my CDs)
I could sent screen shots of what I am seeing if that would help you help me

To state the obvious there is definitely something rotten in Denver. With that said, try this little ork around. Before closing Limewire, got through the My Computer>explore>C Drive>My Documents or whereever you have your shared/saved folders. Highlight your music,click copy, then place in a different location. When you reopen LimeWire check your files.
