When you select a file to download from the search results, the first thing LW does is download the hash of the file which contains all the metadata about the file, the file size, etc. This file is created in the LW incomplete folder. Then as you start to download the file, the incomplete file is added to bit by bit until it reaches 100%. Once at that stage, LW will compare the file to the hash of the file to make sure it matches. If not, it will try to redownload any missing or corrupted parts. Once the file is complete, LW moves it from the incomplete folder to the Saved Files folder (which is itself only a reference within the LW program), which will be your Shared folder or whatever you called your download folder. Unless you are sharing files in your download folder, they won't show up in the Shared folder (or whatever you named it) in the Library window. So "if" it is 100% downloaded, you should be able to find it in the download folder even if it doesn't show there in the LW Library window.
For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here:
Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.
If it's still in the incomplete folder, and you can use the Explore button to check it, try playing it from there directly from your player. If it appears to be 100% complete, then remove it from that folder, and delete it from the LW download window. Something like that happening is not new.
