Default Downloading to an external drive

Hey peeps

Okay, so we all know Limewire isn't a great fan of downloading to external drives.... but needs must and all that....
Anyways - to cut a long story short - due to a decreasing lack of space on my hard drive, I've been kinda having to do the external drive thing lately....

I do everything as it should be done - i.e. before I log off, I set my uploads and slots to zero, exit limewire - then unplug my external hard drive....

The weirdest thing keeps happening though....

When I want to use Limewire again - whether it's been a day or a week - I plug my hard drive in again (which is where my Limewire files download to), only to find that my *shared files* have decreased - sometimes up to 80 files.... i.e. I may be sharing 3500 files - but the next time I plug my hard drive in, 80-100 files have suddenly *unshared*..... I then have to go into my Saved/Shared files (they're the same folder), right click them and *share* them again....

This has well and truly got me stumped!

Lord, Remoc....?? Between you - you've always helped me with problems in the past.
