I thought that "Disconnect" was a soft way of disconnecting urself from the Gnutella network without causing much disruption to the topology after you're gone, but yeah, people can still download if your internet connection is on.

I have a problem realted to that, XP seems to hang-up after I disconnect and shut down LimeWire. I wouldn't even be able to manually disconnect my active internet connection. So I have to power-off my computer (which is the only way out).

Any solutions? BTW I also use Zone Alram pro 4+. Thanks for any replies.
