The thing that interests me about browsing in LimeWire is that it seems to be pretty much random. Sometimes when someone is uploading from me, I right-click and am given the options to kill the upload, chat with the host, or browse the host. Other times, I right-click and am given only the option of killing the upload.

Sometimes when the browse option is offered on right-click, I do so and get back a pop-up error message saying "unable to browse host .....". And sometimes, lo and behold, I actually am able to browse.

Philosophy aside, can anyone enlighten me as to what the technical reason for these various conditions might be?
