ok i looked at the links they showed and im more confused than ever lol. and yes i didnt pay attention to it being a peer not a keeper. its been one of those days i think. anyway it says im a leaf. i still dont get what the peers are for. so are they making my downloads faster or slower or what? i have a dsl connection 256k. somewhere in the options it says you can disable it. does that mean disable me being one or having them on my limewire. i have the pro version of limewire. thanks for any help.
