Yes, but searching for other files that should be there doesn't turn up much. Granted, some people are screwing up, but there isn't enough of them to count for how many of these cookie files are out there.
Why is BearShare the only one returning most of these files? Are Limewire users smarter?
Besides, what does it take to get a simple warning when you try to share your main directory. It just goes to show you how much privacy means to this programmer.
What do you mean by "other files that should be there"?

You'd be surprised at how many people wouldn't know better than to share their main directory, and a single person could be sharing thousands of cookies.

Regardless, BearShare isn't sharing cookies by default. BearShare is probably the the one returning most of those files because more people use BearShare than LimeWire.

I just tried sharing my main directory in LimeWire and it didn't warn me either.
