There is really only one thing to be worried about re: Allowing File Browsing -

If you have a slow connection and/or you are sharing a large number of files at the same time, those 'Browsers' will be consuming potentially large chunky bits of your available bandwidth.

In other words, allowing Browsing will inevitably reduce your file transfer rate unless you have a big fat connection or are sharing very few files (as any Responsible Ultrapeer would do !).


Where is the other risk associated with Browse Files that does not also occur normally within seconds of going on line ?
