I've got more than 15,000 images and over 8,000 MP3 files that I would like to share, but my recent experience with trying to share the images directory resulted in LimeWire locking up and my having to discard its .props fiile.

What I want to know is this:

- Does LimeWire keep track of shared files similar to the way OS X does when it performs a Find By Content scan? In other words, does LimeWire start from scratch when it shares files each time it's started or is it clever enough to remember what was shared the previous time and only look for new files?

- What's the limit on sharing? I know LimeWire got up to 11,118 files in my images directory before giving up the ghost.
