1)limewire is not a .torrent application, and it CAN possibly share files,
avoid it

Limewire is my first application like this in years, so I may not be up on the definitions of a "torrent application", but my Revisited XVID, Revisited DVD-5, and 40 episodes of the Naruto: Shippuden anime would disagree with you. Why would you have a torrent app that wouldn't share the file? Aren't you supposed to have to pass it on?

/confused

i stand corrected..

what i meant was , it can possibly SHARE files that you don't intend it to..

when you first set it up, it looks for other media to share beyond just the
ones you should be sharing...in p2p torrent applications that can NEVER happen,
as you only can share the files you are getting, unless you set up a torrent to
seed......in limewire, you might have file sharing on, and inadvertently share
out your desktop/private files/etc unwittingly, which is what happened to the
user asking the question...

sorry for the confusion...........yes, limewire is a useful application,
its just not as easy to use sometimes for the beginning user........thats what i meant..

(i had it working once, but now it refuses to run on my computer)..
