I did go to the library tab and look. It showed only two folders: Shared and Incomplete. I looked in the shared folder in limewire and it seemed to have the same files and were in the actual shared folder.

I do download to the shared folder. It's name is "Shared."

Here's how I solved the problem. I threw away everything that was in my shared folder. Now as I accumulate files in that folder, Limewire reports the number that are actually in that folder.
