I don't believe I am having any problems, and maybe everything is normal. I would just like someone else to confirm it is all ok & normal.

But let me add another question;

My shared files are on a spare HD, with the folder, "My Music", with sub-folders of the "Artist Name(s)", then sub-folder of the "Album(s)", then "Song file". Limewire is also on that HD, (not shared).

Does it help in the search to have it that way? Because I know when I search, I don't always know the exact song name, or the album title, or even the artist name. [always enough to search]

When I do a search of my shared files, (the same name shared files, not search my files), my files never come up on the search. Apparently some of it works, (see question #1 above), but does this slow down the search process?

I need to know this before I continue sharing files/songs. I have another 20,000+ songs to put up and it would suck to have to go through them all and change my settings.
