Library on non-system hard disk
 

I am using OSX 10.1.5 and have a collection of MP3 files, which is not on the same hard disk where Limewire is installed. This means they are not in my shared library. I have tried to change the location so I can share these files but Limewire will not allow me to use a different hard disk (different from where Limewire program is installed). Anybody else have this problem? How can I share files that are not on the same hard disk as the limewire program?

Hello!

LimeWire does not support Sharing of files that are on another external HD then the original application.I think it has something to do with the fact that the HD have to be on the same bus(motherboard) as the NIC and not USB or FireWire.

If the external HD that you are using have support for connecting it trough Ethernet then try that(connecting it to a HUB) and also you should install a copy of LW on that HD and it could work.

A Similar Problem
 

I am using 10.1.5 and keep most of my library on a different hard disk. I had the same problem when I upgraded to LimeWire Pro 2.5.5, but on the earlier version I had no problem. My new version tends to spontaneously fix itself if I leave it alone for a while, but it still only shows 14 instead of 2700 shared files on startup. My slave drive is internal, though; you didn't specify about yours, so that might be the real difference.
