Just signed up and have only used Limewire a couple days....so "Howdy" to whomever and no, I'm not a cowboy..ha!

I am concerned about security and knowing how to best set up options to limit access to my files appropriately, and would like to have a clearer understanding of what an "ultrapeer" connection is and what any downside that may exist in allowing it.

In general, are there any basic recommendations you might have for me as a new and naive user of limewire in order to protect myself from making any major mistakes.

Thanks so much......Windmaker
