Hi Joe!


Thanks for responding to my messages. I think the version of LimeWire that I am using is 2.4.4. I tried re-downloading the song again, but again it didn't show up in my "Shared" foler. So I decided to give up, lol. I thought I was doing something wrong, but the other songs I download don't go there. I only have two (the first two I ever downloaded) in that folder. That's okay, don't worry about it. Thank you very much for your help. And I find it much easier just to go to that folder to listen to those two songs. For some reason the other songs I download don't show up there. They disappear like before. Oh well. Thanks again for your reply and help. I appreciate it.

They SHOULD go to your shared folder. Try reinstallining LimeWire. After all, it's supposed to work!

Anyone have any other ideas about Angel's problem?

I just read in the LimeWire FAQ a couple of days ago that if a file name has invalid characters in it (like a "backslash") the system cannot move it to your computer. It's kinda like an trying to save a file with a colon or backslash as part of the name. About all you can do is try to find the file named differently so you can download it. The files with the T-920357203 are most likely files from someone's incomplete folder. From what I've seen, the system adds a number to the file if you access it before it's completely downloaded.

Angel...

You might want to make sure you didn't create a folder within a folder for your shared files. I know this sounds stupid but I thought I had lost a lot of stuff, too. Turns out that my kids made their own folder within my shared folder. When I looked in the SHARED folder on my hard drive, I saw nothing...Then I found out that everything I had been downloading had gone to their folder which was inside my shared folder.

Not sure if that helps...just something that happened to me when I thought I was losing stuff...And not trying to insult your intelligence if you already thought of that...

That explains a lot. I couldn't understand why the file would be in my incomplete file (it's not) when the "cannot move file to library" error comes up instantly as soon as I start downloading the file. My connection is fast, but not that fast

I fianlly found this in the user's guide again. I am 99.99% sure that I found that the "Could Not Move To Library" message was also associated with invalid file names. I'm still looking. (Below is a link to the page in the user guide that contains this info and I also pasted the para. with the info on the "Could Not Move To Library" message.)

Couldn't Move to Library: Means your downloaded file couldn't be moved to the Library for some reason. It's possible there was already a file in the library with that name that couldn't be overwritten for some reason, or maybe the save directory in the library had been moved or had otherwise become inaccessible.

LimeWire will also write "Couldn't move to library" if the file name has "/"

I have found the files that get this "Message" have illegal characters in the name. I don't have a MAC so I can't say if a "/" is a legal file character or not. Sometimes I have seen a "?" in the file name.
