dhary is flying high
Default How do I direct a friend to my ISP?

I want to use Limewire to transfer large files back and forth
Now that we both have it- how do we find each other?
and how do we direct each other to the correct directory?

I am wondering if dhary wants these files to be accessible to anybody on the gnutella network .... which using Limewire they will be. Phex had a feature for setting up private networks, not quite sure how it works, but that might be something worth looking into, or there is ftp (never understood that either) I just wondered if Limewire is the best thing for doing what dhary wants to do

Direct connect or Magnet Links will both achieve the same thing. I would argue that magnet links are probably a little easier than direct connecting. And since this person is a LW user & looking for LW solutions in the LW forums I think that's probably the best direction for them. How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect

Hmm It looks like Magnet Link is just the ticket. I had always thought it was something to do with Magnetmix, which goes to show I should always RTFM!
