Over 50% of the files that reach 100% vanish from my hard drive with the "Could not move to library" error. I have elimated all but one of the theoretical causes that I have found in this forum. I have received this error in versions 2.6.3, 2.7.3, 2.7.13, 2.8.2 and 2.8.5.

1. None of the files appear to have any Windows "illegal characters".

2. Limewire only reported corruption in one of 10+ files.

3. I have over 20 megs. of hard drive space available.

4. I am only sharing 7 files.

5. I am not using a Firewire drive.


I sugest that lewinb's theory be researched because:
1. Most of the files that have died are larger than 50 meg.
2. I only have 128 megs of ram, but Windows Task Manager reports that I am using 175-200+ megs of memory.

Original text by lewinb:
Does Limewire do something really assinine and wierd, like trying to fill up its available memory with data (ie, save the file "to memory" and then write to disk when that is full?... Presumably to minimize the need for constant disk access?

Also, can Limewire be changed so that it does not delete the file from the "Incomplete" folder if it receives the "Could not move to library" error?
