Question everyone..... I thought that if you turned off sharing of files, that your files would not be indexed (and show up in a someone else's search). I thought I had my sharing turned off, but the MPAA is reporting me as sharing out files, and was able to pull up my files, matched up to my IP, through a regular search... Any thoughts on how this happened.. (as a side note, the MPAA notified my ISP, and hence notified me)

I just picked this up from another thread where a Limewire Dev person was discussing a way to turn off uploads..

Quoted from Joakim Agren Thread referenced
there is an option to set the upload bandwidth and the number of upload slots to 0.So when someone tryes to download from me the download would stay at 0kB/sec and they would never get any files from me.

Since you have the option of setting max and min uploads allowed as well as upload bandwidth it would appear to be a non-direct method of shutting off uploads... your library could be searched but nothing could be transferred.
