(1) I had 6 downloads going yesterday, and when I open LWP, they have all disappeared. Did they go to Never-never land?

(2) When I go to the TOOL menu, all I find underneath is "Statistics" ... no "Options" subheading. I have version 4.12.6 Pro

Did you see the downloads complete? Do you have your downloads set to clear automatically after they are done downloading? Did Limewire shut down on its own? What is LWP? Limewire player? Can you see the files in your Limewire library? Can you find the files in your incomplete folder? Have you tried searching your computer for the files?

I don't have the same version of LW, so I can't help you there.

No, I didn't see the downloads completed. I did have the automatic clearance after downloading .... I changed it. LWP is Limewire Pro. The files were not in the library or the incomplete folder. A computer search did not find these files. In fact, I had one completed file in my download folder that just disappeared today. I'm going to check out my eMAC with a disk utility.Or else, I have a gremlin.

That does sound odd. On the Mac version LW, the preferences are found under the LimeWire name on the very top toolbar (next to the apple icon at far left.) Else a keyboard shortcut is ⌘ , which finds the preferences for most Mac OSX programs.

Options I can think of are: 1. You chose to download the particular file to a different location using the control-click options.
2. The files didn't actually complete downloading & show up under a slightly different name to what it showed in LW.
3. Same as previous except the files did finish downloading. 4. The files didn't complete & you pressed the Clear Inactive button.

Don't forget 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. You can do that with both the Saved Files Folder & your Shared folder or whatever you renamed your download folder to. You could also check your incomplete folder. Put the folders into list mode, then arrange by date modified so the most recent ones show at the top of the list in the folder.

i certainly hope someone has the ability to hlp me here because i`m totally mystified.I recently searched for and downloaded (or began downloading) four movies i have wanted for ages.LOw and behold they where available checked for potential harm and quality and again yippee all good.I started the downloads and luck agian was with me as all where downloading at avery fast rate ( for AUstralia anyway).In the n middle of the night on a call of nature i quickly checked all was well and it was i had on average downloaded 60% or more of each of the movies.In the morning i hit the enter button to fire up the screen and right b4 my eyes about 30 seconds later the entire download investment simply vanished.I have checked every place i can think of ie., saved files ,incomplte files and no luck they appear to gone to god but with that amount of download megabytes i cannot believe thaey are not somwhere it would in total be in the order of 3gbs.I have before and since downloaded a movie (*** Highly recommended by the way)and no worries there all performed as expected .I have tried to download the same movies again but this time i am having great difficulty gettng past the searching for sources pain and after giving it days to locate a source have given up.I had on each of the movies checked the quality and in each case it was as reccomened by bitzi they where excellent copies.They then continued on their merry way until the incident i related happenned the next moorning.Can anyone help with advice as to where to look and hopefully recover them at the point at which they vanished and complete the download and also avoid it ever happenninmg aghain.I would also ask for some advice as to how to configure my firewall so nothing i choose to download from limewire is blocked in any way as i notice the brickwall icon displayed in the system tray although i am not sure thia is stoppiung my choices from finding sources

Right-click on any file in your Downloads window & choose 'Locate File on Disk' from the menu; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...disk-tool.html which should take you to the incomplete folder. Check if the missing files are inside there.

Search the title of the missing video(s) on your computer, see if it shows anywhere. You could also search .avi or .mpg or whatever file extension it had.

they went to god priori to complete but o so close i am set to clear auto limewre did no shut down files i library searched and empty aswas every other file catorgory.Do not know how to search computor for thr said files let alone resurrect them and conyinue.advice wold make me very happy but bear in mind am not computodf very literrate so instructions would need to be step by step absent of assumed knowledge.

totally off the track here but just thought i woud mention tht he is one of my all time favoroute authors and was impressed with your abstract .He rules and justw ish cloning technology could recreate this most wonderful political commemtater who made many a bad electee squirm and whose diarys aboard aiforce one generally whilst affected by all and any thing of a pharmeceutical nature only add to the intrigue and the responses omly he and he alone could get from these most polished if liars.i often wonder what he would hVE made of obame who by the way i am now a fan of as one by one he dismantles the policies and damage by a president that arguably should never have been there.Hope u can help me with my prob.

To search computer, simply hold down Control and F keys at same time. Type in .avi or .mpg for example. And set search to Computer or Documents. The search will take a while.

Yes I agree with your comments. I need to stay reasonably unbiased here, but I do have to agree with you.
