watching downloads
 

for some reason i cant watch/preview clips ive downloaded unless they are in the shared folder and i cant find a way to put them in there

Go to the folder the files are in (not the Limewire Library) ... I'm guessing you have moved them from the original download folder, so do not know where you have put them. and open the files from there. I hope this helps.

Also make a note of this. I hope it does not apply to you. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=49851

You need codecs for your player. A sticky at the top of one of the forums gives plenty of information.

You could also use the VLC player which has codecs built in and is a free download from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
