damn near every download says "could not move to library"

I am having problems downloading mp3s with limewire on a mac. I've never used limewire before (and don't know much about macs either). All I know is that 3/4's of the files I download have the message "could not move to library" instead of "complete". I then cannot find them. Did they download somewhere to my computer and just couldn't be moved to my library or are they gone completely. I have looked all over the limewire support pages and cannot find any mention of this problem. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Please help!

well I've now read the faq, and found the problem. But the files are not in my incomplete folder. They finished 100% and don't know where they are now. Could they have gone somewhere other than the incomplete folder?

I'm having the same problem, on Mac OS X and Windows. What gives? This isn't in any documentation that I can find. Is there an "Error Messages Explained" document anywhere?

I am having the same problem. The downloads appear to be 100% complete but the message "unable to move to library" appears. Is there someone out there that can help?

I too have the same problem... I download things completely but, instead of saying "unable to post in library," it just doesn't show up and I can't find the file anywhere on my computer. I have Windows XP, do you think that it's something that has to do with that?! Can anyone help me????

There is a "preference" or "setting" that allows you to select the destination of the downloaded files. I changed mine back to the default and it seemed to work......although I started getting the message back again a few days later....still scratching my head on this one.

check your incomplete folder.

What will I find in my incomplete folder?

You will find the files that LimeWire couldn't move to library. They wil have a strange Prefix - "T-374634-FileName.Extension". Just copy them manually.

Thank-you
