Hobo, I believe you did read it correctly. Since the program tallys up the files you are sharing when you launch the program, maybey it can transmit that figure to other users. And to answer your question, I have used LW for a little over a year. I have only used the forums to find the anwers to some of my questions and numerous problems I've had. It's a great source. I've tried other P2P's, but nothing even comes close to LW. Kazaa worked pretty good about four years ago, but that changed.
