Default advice needed on how to stop sharing folders

I wrote about this a month ago, and I still can't prevent this from happening...

Basically, every thing I'm downloading is being shared. I'm not a novice, I know how to configure LW. I know how to stop folders from being shared and I have a folder I download to - I then move what I want to my shared folder. But since LW updated about a month ago (and again, it's now version 4.9.11) everything I download is automatically shared. The option I have is for just my shared folder to do that - share. But all my downloads are being shared too, unless I move them from their folder (I have a seperate folder for downloads) to another folder and move them back. Anything I then download is shared. The files I moved back aren't then shared (I don't normally move them back, I just did this to test if it still happened).

If I install my old version of LW, 4.8.1, it performs exactly how I want it too - ie it only shares files in my "shared" folder.

I think this is a bug, but unless I really am overlooking the obvious can anyone tell me how to stop sharing files that go to my "saved" folder. (the folder could be called anything - that's the name I've given it).

I know they're being shared - people are uploading from them. In my Options I have only my "shared" folder to share. Unless I can sort this out, I'll again have to reinstall a previous version of LW, which I'd rather not do.

Thanks

Robbie
