LimeMAN is flying high
Default Trouble with Append function

Sometimes I download 3 files of the same name, and the append box comes up, so I clock "append". And it won't append the name, so I have to click "save as" and manually append the name. What am I missing here?
thx

Yeah me too, I asked the question a while ago and never got an answer. So what is the correct way to download multiple files with the same name in Limewire?

you can just use the save as function, but Im lazy and like to use append. And still trying to figure out why append works sometimes but not others. Apparently randomly..

Everytime I try to download a same filename I get prompted with the 3 options, but in preferences I have selected "always append", so can't Limewire automatically rename without bothering me?

I've the same problem, I've to press APPEND everytime because the program is not able to rename the files... and sometime it not accept the APPEND and have to choose the SAVE AS option. BORING!

The append works fine for me in both mac & windows beta version 4.13
You have the choice of being asked what to do, append, save as, etc.
But you can also set it so it automatically appends. This setting is in your options.
My windows version runs on win 2000 with java 1.6
