The last version opened iTunes, placed the song in the music library, and played it, using the iTunes controls. This version plays it via the Limewire player control at the screen-bottom, and does NOT open iTunes. Nor does it enter it into the iTunes library, which means I have to do that manually, now. So, what does the iTunes support button do if it has no connection to iTunes?

<<An option to change the location of the incomplete directory never existed! The location is coupled to the "Save Directory" so if you desire to change the Incomplete directory you must do it via the Saving option.>>

Hmm... Okay, then it should exist. If my main disk was larger I would want completed files to be saved there, but still want the incomplete crap to accumulate on a scratch disk where it didn't waste space.

<<Btw. the reason you run out of Disk space is probably the Preview function which creates copies of the files before it opens them (they're kept in the Incompletes directory and have a "Preview-" prefix).>>

No chance. You're talking to a computer professional with forty years in the computer field, from logic design to programming. They had tubes in the things when I came on board, so I'm not taking stabs in the dark, here. The memory leak takes place when others download from me, not the other way around. And in any case, the drop in free space is unconnected to the rate data is arriving, which is usually lethargic, only the upload rate, which is often running at the max my cable connection can handle (and yes, I reduced the bandwith, which did slow the rate of leakage). And finally: It's not me screwing up the permissions. That only happens when I run Limewire.

I don't mean to be insulting, and I know how hard you guys are working to make the product better, but this release was not ready for prime time. Something like the preferences not being moved over tells me that your guys are testing for success rather than failure, because they "know" that teeny little change they made won't effect anything important.

Test plans... You gotta love them.
