O crap I just remembered this:

When I first got LW it was an older version that I had to use Classic to run (Mac OS 9). So after I got that earlier version it I set my download destination to a different file. So when the new update (4.8.1) came out and I downloaded it, I replaced the old LW with the new one. The preferences were already set on the new version (possibly because I hadn't deleted the preferences folder in my library that you told me about earlier), so I didn't have to change anything. As it turns out the old DL destination file was in the folder for the earlier version of LW (and I seem to remember my incomplete folder being there as well) and this folder I deleted. Because the preferences were already set for the new version (which as I said has been working fine for months) IDK where the old DL destination would be other than in the old versions folder!!
