to both of you for all your help!!

Looks like I missed a couple of those answers in the forums! Sorry guys.

Sleepless, with the adware/spyware thing you were talking about. Do you mean that other hosts could be seeing files in MY SHARE FOLDER that I can't see, and that they could be downloaded?

One more thing, when I choose to see incoming searches in my Monitor window I get the pop up box saying:

"Your client is a leaf node shielded by an ultrapeer. Hence you will see few or no searches..."

That doesn't really make sense because I have so many searches in my window, and they speed by so fast that I can't even read what they are a lot of the time. Is this normal?

I still don't really understand the Connections thing. But anyway, my Connections window is full from top to bottom with ingoing/outgoing hosts.

You guys must think I'm pretty thick asking all these questions, huh?
