Your finished downloads should not go to your incomplete folder. On a Mac check your LW Prefs & see the 1st option of 'Saving'/on pc Windows: Tools->Options and then go to saving. The path indicated there is where the files are being stored in your PC. From there use Explorer/Find to find exactly where on your Hard disk drive this is. If you have chosen to share your dwnld folder, you will find it in your Library window under whatever it's name is. Click on it's name (on top LH corner of LW's Lib window) & it will show you what files have been dwnlded to it. You can change your dwnld folder (safer if there's nothing presently dwnlding), to somewhere you can find it easily (you might want to leave a link/alias to the folder for easy access; put the folder somewhere within explorer so you can access it easily & quickly.) Follow ursula's instructions to find/create any shared folders.
If you still have any problems, do a search . There's a no of threads discussing this issue for both pc & mac! (whoops there's something wrong there, back to the text books I guess!)

Whenever you add or adjust a shared folder be sure that you press Apply & OK. When you go back to the Library window, press the Refresh button. This is similar to when u 1st open up LW, in that all the shared files are recounted (this process can take a few mins dpending on how many files you're sharing). You'll notice 2 things, one that the shared files initially turn red & then as they're accountd for turn black, also in your LW shared files no. which is located on lw's bottom-left side of the window you'll see the no. of shared files gradually increase (again as LW accounts for each & every one.) After ther process has finished you will probably also notice that your download quality has improved, perhaps dramatically, perhaps just slightly.

Remember if you don't press Apply, the changes won't take affect until the next time you open LW!

Hope the files you're dwnlding are not copyright which can be traced via your ip. Your ip supplier can of course monitor such things. Your reason doesn't really stand up well.
The folders listed in your LW Library are either incomplete or shared! That's it! Sharing actually improves one's chance of connection to other peers. So if you can't play from your library, tough luck. Such people who don't share are known as Leechers!
