Why are some files listed under Libarary Tab in red?
 

Hello,

I've been a user of Limewire for years. I know this is a basic question but I haven't been able to find it in the user's manual or the forums: Why is it that when I click on the Library Tab and view Incomplete files that some of the files are in a red font while most of them are in a black font?

I suspected the red files have something wrong with them yet under a Shared Folder (under the Library Tab) I also see some files listed in a red font which seem to be complete, virus free, and in working order.

A separate issue is that I've been wondering if a future release of Limewire will incorporate an "automatic repeat search" feature that will refresh a search at fixed intervals. I'd also love it if Limewire could retain searches I had in progress after a restart/shutdown of the program?

The red files mean that their not being shared as the black ones mean they are being shared....;)

also, previews of files show in red.

Automatic requerying was banned over a year ago: it was killing the network. This popular feature may return if the difficulties can be overcome.

Very informative. :) Thank you so much for the replies.

Don't know if this is obvious to you but all you need to do is right-click the red file and select Share File
