When I download a large file In this case a 50000k mpg, it can take a long time. the odds that I will get disconnected are huge. I really would be happy with a partial file. The file does not show in the incomplete folder. I cannot find them in the temp files on the pc. Is there a setting to change? Do they have a hiding place I dont know about? Any suggestions?

Which client are you using?

Limewire. Do you think that the client would make a diffeence?

Hallo:

only so far that every client uses his own partial file directory as default. As far as I know there is no servent which stores it's partials in win or dos preset [temp]-directory, so looking there is of no good.
A better tip would be:
First, have a look into your preferences; if there is not anything mentioned, look into the directory where your servent is installed into. Most likely you will find your file in a subfolder of this. :-)
If nothing helps try a file search ([Start], [Find] or 'dir [drive]:\yourfile.* /s'....... :-)

Yep. Filesearch shows em and I can backtrack from there.
thanks
