Unhappy When all files complete, they say "file not found"

Well here is my problem:
I have just moved my system 10 imac from home to school and got a new internet service here. At home, I was downloading from Limewire with no problems.

Here at school (off campus) I try to download and then run into this crappy problem:
The search is fine, even downloading the file is fine. BUT, then once it gets to 100% complete, the file does not go into my itunes, nor anywhere else. I double click on the file and it says "Limewire cannot play the file. . . The file cannot be found. Whyyyy is this so??

What is also weird is as it's downloading, I can click on the file and it will play. But once it is complete it then acts up. I experimented with many different files but all ended in the same result. I've also went through the Limewire settings about a dozen times but can't seem to figure anything out.

Is it something to do with my internet service provider?
PLEASE HELP!!

Lianne

Or/& search the file ... eg: search .mp3 or .m4a using mac's search function (Command F)

To re-enable iTunes importing, go to LW's prefs , -> iTunes -> & turn the importing option on & back on & press apply. You may need to restart LW for it to take effect.

If all else fails, delete your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED, found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Mac users might have their download folder anywhere, but probably the default location is not so different to windows; OSX > Users>Account name > Documents (I think that's the default location.)

I have mine on a different HDD partition.

Smile Figured it out

Okay, so first off, thanks guys for a response so quick!

I took all your suggestions, and I also did a search for the files I downloaded and you would not believe it, they were in my library after all.


Wow don't I feel like an idiot.

Thank you so much though guys, you are wonderful.
