Okay, Now, simple problem, I normally drag files from the Frostwire library to the desktop/folders, but now It decides to just not do that, and not copy them there, etc.

Any idea why?

Settings I should change?

I've no idea what Frostwire is, but I suggest pushing down on the mouse harder until either it breaks or the files OBEY!!

Punching the monitor sometimes helps as well.

Frostwire is a form of Limewire.

Just a little different, and I think a little faster, and was already on Linux Mint.

Bleh, use BitTorrent. LimeWire has too much malware & spyware embedded in it.

Again, one of the Key words was Linux.

Also, I want one song, not the whole album that takes an hour to download.

Well have you tried right clicking and cutting/or copying then pasting? Is there any dialogue that comes up when you try dragging and dropping the files? Also is Frostwire running? You might need to shutdown Frostwire when you do this because someone might be downloading from you if you have the program when your trying to move it.

No ability to copy/paste

No, it does not bring up any message, it just lets me drag and drop, but does not appear

I turned off all sharing, and have been shutting it down/disconnecting etc. for a while.


Edit: seems if I rename them they work... and when it does not, It seems if I put it on Amarok, then to the file/desktop it works.

Microsoft sez: "Hee hee, that tickles!"

Linux sez: "Duuuuude... like, you're paying for dinner, right? I'm broke... schyeah!"

Did you fix the problem? I was trying to wait till you'd resolved the issue.
