I am new at this and have noticed undesired files in the incomplete section of my library. I read up on an old post regarding using idle ppls space as a cache. Is this in effect and explains why this is happening or may it be as simple as someone in the household has been using my program?

I always clear out my Incompletes and I've never seen any files there that just show up without me attempting to download them. I think someone has been using your program. The next time you are about to close LimeWire down, clear out all of your Incompletes. If files appear even though you were not on it them someone was probably using it.

Thank you for answering so soon.
i am really stressed about this because a relationship is at stake. because of this, it would be nice if others confirmed this

I hope it's not something like this unwanted downloads is it? If it is, then I'd recommend getting Norbie to help sort it out. Register at his site if it is NorbiesWorld (click on link)

If it's not the above, then it could be a case of misnamed files.

wow, that could be it. i'll try that and see. thanks!
