shared file missing

[patnb2002]

Please help: only my 'incomplete' files show in Library - none of my 'shared'. What did I do? Where have they gone?

you almost certainly haven't lost any files - just go to "tools" and then select "options"

one of the things listed will then be "sharing" - and one of the things will be "saving" if you click on "saving" you'll see where your downloads are/go and if you click on "sharing" you'll see the directory you nominated/accepted during installation as being available for uploads - its this/these "sharing" directories that show up in "library"

does this help at all?

Hi Vlad: It shows only 23 shared files when I have over 100. Sorry to bother you.

damn - just when I thought my tip worked out fine it gets more mysterious

I'm still picking that the files are sitting comfortably somewhere - if you're using a PC you can use "find files" in windows explorer to track them down

just go to "tools" then click on "find" then click on "files or folders" - you'll then get a "named" box where you can enter the the name of one of the missing files - and a "look in" box where you specify the drive or directory you want searched - just select something that will search your entire drive like "C:"

click on "find now" and it should start searching - its a good bet that the missing files are all together and once located you can drag them to wherever it is you really want them

the only other thing you could do is to open your recycle bin just to check they haven't been moved there somehow (and then just click on "restore" if you do find some)

if you're using a mac - I'd follow the same general procedure using whatever the mac equivalents are

good luck - bad_vlad

Thanks Vlad - will try that. Meantime, will give it a rest...I MISS NAPSTER!
