Two options I can think of. (1) Share files immediately (share finished downloads) option at bottom of Share option in Tools > Options > Sharing. (2) Add 'Shared' folder as a sharing folder.

Default Sharing Uploads/ Downloads

Well I have the sharing folder that everyone is getting to.. and downloading is fine so everything is alright with the world.
The thing is that the new downloads do go to saved folder and they are not useful until I share file.. I usually need to see if the file is legit that I downloaded..
or is it trash.. as I am a music savy person with knowledge of what an artist would or wouldn't have done. Like when someone posts that let's say the Rolling Stones are posted as them doing Paranoid .. you woule downright know that Black Sabbath is the song that you will get..
Anyway back to the point at hand is though what I have had to do in getting to my saved folder is opening my computer then user name folder.. to limewire then to saved... then drag files into shared..
I don't know if there is much of a better way to it then what LW will let me do..then say it can't find shared file if say the saved folder gets moved to desktop as folder or as a copy.. cause LW tells me it can't find folder unless it is in where it's at right now.

Have you tried making your saved folder your shared folder? By that I mean make the location (within LW's tools > options > saving and tools > options > sharing) the same for both saved & shared files. What you can do in that case is download a file & then go to LW's library > Saved Files > right click on the file you've just downloaded > stop sharing file.

Then open your saved folder & scan the file for viruses, check that it sounds ok & that you're happy to share it. Once you've done that, you can go back to the file within LW's library > right click > share file.

IDK if it's going to be any more painless for you to do it this way
