LimeWire keeps creating "Incomplete" folder

LimeWire keeps creating an "Incomplete" folder among my other main folders in the Home directory whenever I open it. I've told it to send all downloads to the "Downloads" folder.

Is there any way to make it stop creating this folder every time I open the app? Or at least to force it to create the folder inside the "Downloads" folder instead of my Home directory?

It's the same as windows I suppose.

Lime/Frost wire automatically creates an incomplete folder in the directory above which you are actually saving files downloaded.

Change your save directory to /home/user/downloads/limewire and the incomplete directory will be in downloads.

It's completely safe to delete the incomplete folder. On windows and Linux I have a little script that trashes it on every system shut down..maybe you can write a little bash script.
