To move LW to a new computer, move the entire incomplete folder, the preferences folder (specifically the downloads.dat file inside prefs folder.) And of course your saved/& shared folders where your already downloaded files are. :)

After reinstalling LW on new computer, close it. Then replace the new incomplete folder with the old one, and go to preferences folder & drop the downloads.dat file inside & replace the new one. :) But that must only be done whilst LW is closed. ;)

i have done all that but replace the downloads.dat into the preference folder cause I dont know where that is

For Vista, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

If you are using LW 5 on new computer, to add the already downloaded files to the library, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...s-windows.html although birdy was updating a copy of that thread for LW 5.1 it is not in public view yet. It is possible to drag & drop files/folders from desktop to library. But to share you need to right-click & choose to share. :)
