"disk Problem" Also

[nedswife]

Hi there, when some of my audio downloads have reached 100%, instead of going straight to my share file, they are going to the bottom of my list of downloads, and have "disk problem" in the 'status' column, next to the "100%" in the 'progress' column.

I KNOW I have enough disk space, I have absolutely heaps left on my hard drive. Is that what it means? Can somebody PLEASE help me??

I did find another thread about this problem, but it didn't help.;

thanks a lot,
Neddy

Possibilities other than the usual lack of disk space are that your HD need Defragmenting. You may have a large number of files in the download pane awiting sources.

This thread may also be of use. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=disk+problem

Plese let us know if any of this helps. Not sure we've cracked this one entirely

ell, somewhere along the line, something weird happened to my folder I was downloading the music to....... I had it in for e.g. "blah blah blah, "my playlist"......... and then SOMEHOW, the word "desktop" ended up in the middle of that file name........ I don't know how, and when I went into LW tools, to try and change it, going through my menus from "my computer", even when I picked folders without "my desktop" in them, THERE it would be...... "my desktop" was inserting ITSELF into my file address!!!!!

Anyway.......... what I did was........ I just used the default address for sharing, and moved "my playlist" over to that file....... so we'll see what happens now.

I checked that link you gave me Hobo........ but I don't really understand it. I don't know how to check if my file is read or write only... when I went into "my playlist" , then properties...... there was only one box giving me the choice to make it "read only", which was UNchecked........

The weird thing about it all, is that it was only SOME of my downloads coming up "disk problem", not all of them, now I think that is NOT logical, would you agree?? LOLOL.

I'll see if that fixes it, just using the default file........ but I will let you know if it doesn't, cause it will be driving me mad!.

Thanks heaps for your time and help.

I am also getting a "disk problem" message, first time its happened. I downloaded a pdf file and was reading it before it was completely downloaded, might this cause the problem? anyway i was wondering if it were possible to refresh the download and start over?
