similar but unrelated problem...
I have my download and shared folders on another partition, seems to work ok, but i can't be sure. Downloads are fine(even sharing), though my other shared folders get 'hits' but seldome uploads... i've even done specifc searches for stuff i know is being shared but they never turn up in searches... any ideas?

thanks
oh BTW, mac os9.2.2/ limewire 2.9.8(free) on HFS partition, download and shared folders on HFE partition
