downloads randomly disappear
 

okay.. so i turned my computer on and opened up limewire. As soon as it went to open something came up about limewire having new places to store downloads? or how you can add more sharing folders? something like that. Not thinking much of it, i didn't mess with it and left it on the defaults it had already selected, and continued on. When limewire finally opened, my skin was different and all my downloads were gone as if i had just got the program. In place of my downloads are random playlists that are located in My Ablums in My Documents.

Anyone have any idea what happened? I'm completely lost and frustrated because i has just finished downloading a ton of files yesterday and now they're not there.

Not sure, but is it related to this? -> http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...downloads.html

Of course you can always search your files via your computer search, eg: search .mp3 or .avi, etc. to see where they all are. Then re-add that folder as a shared folder.

You might have downloads set to not be shared after downloading. Or someone has tampered with your settings whilst you were afk.

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Also keep in mind if you hover your cursor over the saved files or shared files folders in the LW Library window, it will show the directory location in a contextual popup window.

no it wasn't related to the update thing, but i did find them when i searched my computer. I just dont know how to get them back in my limewire? Thank you so much though. its a hugeeeee relief knowing they're still there. :)
