woke up this morning, started up limewire like I always do, and realized all my individual shares were gone. All of my non-individual shares are in tact, so I got to thinking maybe I'd been made (by the riaa, or something like that). Is it possible for those guys to hack and remove stuff you upload? HELP! thkx.

Unlikely anyone has hacked your computer. Are you sure you don't just need to expand the drop down list in LW's library. Click the little triangle thing beside "Saved Files" or "Shared Files".

If that's not it try deleting the LW Pref. folder. Points 2.) and 3.) in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should! This will erase your settings for LW so you may want to make a note of them.

Maybe you moved them. Or maybe you used the describe function upon them which changed their hash information & thus LW could no longer see them as being the same file.
