Default 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.

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
