That is scary, Catgirl. Can you tell if any files other than your 'shared' path ones, were accessed? I hope not. I stick with Limewire and Aquisition, both the latest and 'registered' (paid for) versions and believe only my designated file is actually shared, but both: lots of hits, few uploads. Interesting stuff, this p2p, and in an infancy stage. Thank you for the info on "Ares", I appreciate your post.
