If you say download a mp3 when it downloads it go's to a shared folder so other people can download it the more people have it the quicker it downloads plus if one person has that mp3 and are off line you have to wait till there on line so you click on librar and audio and it shows the mp3 let's say pink floyd - the wall then you click on the explore item in the limewire box to the right under the list on the left hand side and it will show a list of stuff you have downloaded then what i do is right click go send to and send it to my documents [my music or my recived files] and when i am not on Limewire i can play it or burn it or put it on my i-pod without having to turn on limewire simply by right clicking and pressing whatever button you have [add to burn list ect] i play in winamp on mine cos i have pro.If your downloading anything like videos and esspecially programmes check it with anti-virus first by right clicking before you move it anywhere.Hope thats a help?.
