Thank you so much Lotr, I did all the things you said and instantly went from "fair" to "excellent". Your opinion please; I changed my account so that you need to have at least 20 sharing files enable to download from me, was that a good number? In reading a lot of things written on here I find that a lot of people are very upset about others not sharing, "freeloaders". I also set my options to "rarely". Do you agree w/ this or should I set the limit higher? Thank you again, even after my screw-up yesterday you still came back to help me, I truly appreciate it. Newbee
