Go to your Library window. Click on the library tab. If you don't see it, go to View menu, Hide/Show & select Library. In the Library window will be folders. One will be Saved Files folder, one will be the name of the downld folder (called "Shared" by default), & an incomplete folder. There may also be other folders if you chose to share more folders. For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

Else click on the Saved Files folder or Shared folder & click on the song file, & press Launch.

Try downlding those with 3 or 4 stars as that represents their chances for connecting & downlding. Also try to find those with multiple hosts under the # column of the search results. But ignore all files less than 2,000 KB (2 MB) as most of those are spam or viruses.

Look in the Saved Files folder.

Are you sure it downloaded 100%? Did you watch it as it was downlding?

So in other words (see my question at bottom of last post), it didn't finish downlding. Go to your Library window & click on the incomplete folder. Is it in there? If it is, it means it hasn't downlded yet.

Did you have a look at the Limewire manual?
