I have the EXACT same problem and have tried all of your suggestions to no avail. I am using Windows XP.

How long have you had this problem for? Its bugging me!

We've noticed a rash of these bugs coming in. There doesn't seem to be any obvious reason.

A few things to check:

- How long is the path to your incomplete/save directory?
- If you shorten the path (C:\Files\Saved) does it start working?
- What drive is the save directory on?
- Is the save directory on an internal or external drive?

We'd very much like to fix this problem. Any help you can give in tracking it down would be very useful.

Do you use iTunes? If not switch off your daap abilities you don't need it.

Are you sure you installed the english version LW or the international (multilingual) version installer. The international version demands Java 1.3 be used. But your Java is showing unknown source...

Try installing the Beta version 4.3.2 (preferably into a different account) http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml

Oh I'm a bit slow

Ok, im not sure how to shorten my path...would you explain? My saved file is in c:/documents and settings/Sal Castellano/Shared. Yes i do have i-tunes. I also downloaded the beta version of limewire but it still does not work. And yes i do have the english version. Is this problem ever going to be fixed? If not im going to have to switch to something else an see if that works, which i do not want to because limewire was awsome up to know. Thank You

Hi Salcas,

Yes, this problem will be fixed, but we need to be able to reproduce it first. That's why I'm asking these questions -- so we can figure out what's causing the problem, reproduce it, and fix it.

- Do you have many files that you are downloading?
- Does the problem appear when you click on a search result to start downloading, or only after you've restarted LimeWire and it resumes old downloads?
- Does the problem appear with every single download, or only some of them?
- If it appears with only some of them, what do those downloads have in common? Are the names really long?
- If it appears with all of them, try downloading some files that have very short names. Does it still fail?

- Have you ever been able to download succesfully?
- If so, did you do anything between when it worked and it didn't? Such as upgrading Java, installing a new program, upgrading Windows (using Windows Update), etc... ?

Sorry for the lots of questions. I've been trying to search for this problem and reproduce it for the past few hours, and haven't had any luck.

Hi, I have about 900 songs in my saved file. The problem started yesterday when i went into limewire it said that i have a bug an that the song that i tryed downloading could not be moved to my library, and it asked me to send the bug or discard it and i sent it. Ive tried downloading many files an the same problem happens with every single one. I have not installed anything from when the problem started. Ever since yesterday ive been downloading succesfully. i hope i answered you questions and you can help..thanks

actually coem to think of it, i downloaded the newer version of java in between when it was working an wasnt becuase i thought that maybe that would fix the problem but it didnt

To get a clear timeline of events:

1) LimeWire downloads files fine.
2) Java is upgraded.
3) LimeWire fails downloading files.

Is that the order?

Or is the order:

A) LimeWire downloads files fine.
B) LimeWire fails downloading files.
C) Java is upgraded.
D) LimeWire still fails downloading files.

I can't quite tell from your post.

Try going to Tools -> Options, choosing 'Saving' and changing your 'Save Directory'.

A) LimeWire downloads files fine.
B) LimeWire fails downloading files.
C) Java is upgraded.
D) LimeWire still fails downloading files.

thats the order.

i already tried that an i did not work
