As an afternote, know that dlding applications (and .exe files in particular) puts you and your computer in a vulnerable position because this is how one can get a virus. This isn't because of LW. It is (again) because of the users. Although LW will warn you that dld such files is hazardous, it is still up to you. And the danger is not unique to LW. Any P2P app that allows program dlding puts you i the same danger, so either get an antivirus, or (as Peerless will no doubt say if he sees this thread) go and buy the software and get the antivirus anyway because it's damn useful.
