I not only don't have a shared folder but when I look for limewire it shows it in Programs , but when I look in programs no such file exist.

I don't quite understand...

You shared folder should be C:\program files\limewire\shared by default.

This all is exactly what I'm going through. I can't find downloaded files anywhere except in the search area display box. Then the next day it is gone from there also. any help would be wonderful.......Thanks in advance

Shared Folder
 

I've had Limewire for about a month. No gliches with my folders. 3 days ago my cable connection broke and is now fixed. The same time my cable connection broke my shared folder disapeared, not though my incomplete folder. I can not find the folder anywhere and when I download files they disappear to the shared folder. I know it is around because when I tried to replace some of the items in the folder it told me I already have the items. It sounds a bit like the problems you guys are having.

go to options->saving
you can check, where your shared folder is here.

go to options->sharing
you can add your shared folder to the library here.

Options
 

A little confused since when I go to options I'm just able to change my outgoing connections.

Also it says I'm sharing 0 files when Limewire "knows" what files I already have downloaded completely.

Thank you for the help.

There is definitely a bug with the shared folder that I introduced with the last version somehow -- sorry!! It will be fixed in the next LimeWire release (but that may not be for a little while... -- three weeks??).

saving to Library
 

I was able to create the shared folder in the Library but not all of the downloaded songs are there. They show up under the Search tab as complete downloads but I can't figure out how to save them to the Library shared folder.

For downloaded songs to show up in the Library you must have your download location (Tools|Options|Saving) and you shared locations (Tools|Options|Sharing) point to the same place.

You may need to add your download location to your shared list.
