Sounds like a bug. (perhaps I commented about same bug from preferences window, but your additional comment will make a difference.) I agree it can be confusing about 'shares'. Best to respond to this thread here: LimeWire Forums I was initially sharing multiple thous' files & the alpha had major problems loading them but that was more a Mac OSX issue.

If not registered there, unfortunately you will need to register there separately since it is a different forum.
