...are they real files or are you one of those trusting people who let the gnutella type prog share their entire HDDs.

do a search for cookies.txt and you get 500 to 3000 hits.

on a more rational note I have shared up to about 3700 ziped books, music and pictures at one point.

The only problem is a vastly increased startup time as limewire caressed each and every file.

unless they include a static database for these SHA hashes that are talked about this will only get worse.

the database might be held in memory now which could be a problem if all of your files are mp3. Limewire will caress each one and pull its id3 tag so that 'extended' searches will work.

if these are kept in memory there could be buffer or java flakieness.

-bye now!
