Yes, I do alot of downloading weekly. To the extent of over 100 files weekly. I have two questions to ask both are very important to me. I hope someone can answer them to make my life a bit easier. One, I bought a subscription to IShare it (aka Imp3it) .This program said I was paying to be legal to download files. Does any one know if LimeWirePro is too?. I was concerned that RIAA was going to track me because of the volume of new stuff I get weekly. So I figured it was only fair to pay them something for the hundrdeds of files I have already acquired. One of the reasons I changed platforms was because of being firewalled by a router as well as Computer Associates EZ Firewall (which I am told is an old version of Zone Alarm).I am trying to learn all about these complex things. The reason why I went from IShare it to Imp3it, was because I couldn't get the 1st to launch ever. At first I had some success with Imp3it,but then I had to play with the advance settings and half of the time it wouldnt connect. So I viewed the email I was sent when I joined and I found the Limewire Pro .EXE .I decided it was the last thing I could do.
I am having mixed results. Some of the problems I have encountered are ...with IMp3it, it ranks the files from 1-4. Anything
higher than a 2 means the file isnt bogus. I don't see that at all on Limewire.How can I tell which files are authenic and which are fake? .I am aware of the file size/ quality of file ratio which must be proportionate (otherwise I know its a fake). My second question is a bunch of these sources since I am unclear to which of them remaining are real don't start for many reasons or go into the to be downloaded section but never start. I have close to 1000 of these in the first week I'm on LimeWire. My question is this. Is there anyway for the system to automatically search for all files that remain, so I don't have to click for hours to get them to research for the ones not complete?. I do not want to go crazy clicking find sources individually. If you can address any or all of my concerns. I would be greatful. Lastly , I would like to check all of the settings to both my Linksys Router, as well as my EZ Firewall so all of my programs work well. Please speak in laymans terms so I can figure out where things can run alot smoother. Also I need to figure this out for Imp3it, as well as Winmx(for both sets of questions). Please let me know asap so I can get away from my painful experience with all 3 services and begin to finally enjoy them! . Any opinions as to which of the services I use would also help me evaluate which to continue with.

Thanks.
