It is simple.......the file had been verified and completed from limewire. I was playing the movie and as i have seen posted on this forum that some computers do reset themselves.....mine did....and when it came back up......i did a search for the movie file and it was GONE. zero. does not make sense. im using win xp with a 40 hard drive. all the other movie files i have downloaded are in the limewire shared folder where they should be with no problems.....there still there. thanks
