Problem After Downloading Files
 
After I download a file, it always makes copies of itself in my shared folder. I was using another P2P program before, and I had about 8 copies of each and every 800 songs I had in there, and it's gobbling up my computer space. If someone would tell me how to set it so it won't make copies of every file I download, it would be appreciated. (I only got LimeWire PRO yesterday, and there's already two copies of everything.)

I think this happens every time I add songs to my iTunes library. It's not Limewire itself... but iTunes has shitty support and help files. So the answer wasn't there.

Sorry for the double post, (it's been about 3 days,) I found out the songs don't copy themselves exactly when I download them. When I select the songs to add to my iTunes library, when I hold ctrl + select songs, they copy themselves every 10 songs I select. I know this isn't a virus. It's either a keyboard hotkey malfunction or a screwed up setting in the computer itself.

Remember if you're copying them to iTunes then of course, you will end up with 2 copies. So after verifying that the songs "are" within the iTunes Library you can delete the ones in the LW downld folder.
