[awhite5]

It is important to know that WMP does not actually hold the files you add to it. It just plays them from the location you have saved them to. The files would remain in your Frostwire Saved folder unless you moved them. Could you go to Frostwire > Tools > Options > Saving > Basic? and tell us what it says in the saved files box?

Please have another look at the first post on page 1. I have updated it since you posted. I hope it explains things clearly

I just upgraded from 4.21.8 to 5.3.5 and my library didnt transfer. I tried putting into the Torrent Data folder and still couldn't locate it in the updated version. How do I solve this?

Your download directory is specified in tools>options>Bittorent Torrent save folder.
You can configure this to be anywhere.
This is the base directory where FrostWire puts and addresses things.
By selecting Tools>options>library and can add additional "Look" in folders in this option as well.
There is quite a bit of flexibility.
