rickth (get the error 'sorry there was a problem downloading your file')
 

hi i have been a limewire user for sometime and have limewire 5 which once you get used to using really is an improvement on earlier versions. but ive got a problem. for two days whenever i hit download for a music file i get a message saying download sorry there was a problem downloading your file. if i click ok the message goes but i cant get any reason for the problem. my library is still there my playlists are also there the options seem ok whats gone wrong.

Which OS are you using?

If Vista, do you have an administrator account?

If Vista, right click on LW's desktop icon > run as administrator. Now see whether the same thing happens.

Have you changed the location for saving downloads from the default?

Try changing LW's saving location. Tools > options > downloads > browse for a different location to save downloads > click ok to save the change.

Let us know whether you're still stuck:)
