Ajutagir,

Thanks for your response!

And as with most responses, it leads me to yet ANOTHER question:

What does Limewire do to determine if someone is a four-star rating? Do you Ping them somehow as Morgwen suggested? If so, Morgwen said that that's not always reliable. Couldn't they be a four-star rating one second and a one-star the next depending on their activity?

The reason I ask is that this dovetails with my question on how can I determine the speed of someone with whom I'm uploading or downloading a file. Can I rate the person myself? (By the way, how do I refer to someone I'm uploading or downloading with? Are they a "host" or...?)

Thanks!

C
