These are "illegal characters" in Windows. LimeWire won't download these files on any platform.

Why on Earth wouldn't a file transfer client simply strip illegal characters from a file's name before trying to save it to disk? And if there was a good reason not to strip the illegal character(s), then why even bother trying to download the file in the first place?
Six of the last nine files I've downloaded have been lost to the "Could not move to library problem". I have never seen this problem with any FTP or P2P client app until I started using LimeWire.
Please fix this in 2.8.6 or I'll have to go back to Xolox (which isn't nearly as much fun to use as LimeWire, but at least it manages to save the files it has downloaded).
