You may want to test on a folder with the least files in to try it first. One way to do this, from the Build database dialog use the Exclude folder button to remove those songs from the database.
Then open the folder in explorer and rename the "ImportedFiles.txt" to "Backup-ImportedFiles.txt" just in case you need to replace it.
Now from Hosters rebuild dialog, go back in to the Excluded folders list, select the folder and choose "Remove folder from list".
Now go back to the rebuild database dialog, use the add folder button and brows to the folder and add it to the list, you should see it rebuilding just that folder into the database and when completed tell you how many songs from that folder added to the database.
Then using explorer look in the folder and see if it rebuilt that .txt file.
If yes then that should answer to your question, so you would then have to remove that file from each folder.
Take note if it doesn't replace it you will have problems when using the Index Song files dialog, ticking the hide imported tracks won't work.
Item 2) I don't know but did you leave it for a while to see if it started responding again ?

Roy is the man when it comes to giving direction to Hoster! If you still don't have the songs after you do what he has advised, here is what I have done in the past with similar problems and it has worked for me. First it is important that you are sure the songs are no longer available in Hoster. Then open windows explorer and go to the folder that you have the missing songs in. Delete the folder Roy mentioned "Imported files.txt" or rename it. If this file doesn't exist still continue to the following. I then open Hoster and import the folder with the missing songs like you would do with new songs. It will create a new "Imported files.txt" when you index these songs. ONLY do this if you are still having problems AFTER you try what Roy suggested. Also, in earlier versions of Hoster if imported files are KMH and then deleted or songs just aren't listed in Hoster, after deleting the "Imported files.txt" the KMH files may still be with each song that has been deleted or missning. I have had to delete all the KMH files that are listed with these songs before Hoster would import them again. On the newer versions of Hoster if I delete songs in the Hoster tools/edit page it also removes the KMH files but in my testing it doesn't remove the "Imported files.txt" file.
Hope this isn't to confusing. Roy has a much smoother and accurate way of explaining things then I do. Good luck!
