To Lord of the Rings - many thanks for the advice. Not yet out of the woods but

All my folders - Incomplete, Saved, Shared, Store Purchased are located in as independent folders in users/............../limewire/..............

I have located a downloads.dat file in Library/Preferences/Limewire but no downloads.bak - any clues??. Should I uninstall and reload 4.18.2??

Pardon my ignorance but what is BTW with respect to the Red files in the incomplete library that wont share

Regarding the cancel. Would you suggest when quitting Limewire you quit whilst files are still downloading??

Advice is appreciated
