Exclamation After download compleated ".NFO" files are in red color - which means "Not Shared"

After download complete 100% and I open the file in "Library" I notice ".NFO" files are in red color - which means "Not Shared"
I have to click "right mouse button" and to make them "Share".
If I do not do this I have been kicked off from torrent site that i download for reason "Not seeding after download".

I don't mind manually to "right mouse click and to Share" but i have to be 24/7 in front of the computer.....

My question is: Can this issue be done automatically and why only ".NFO" is red but the main files like " .AVI " , " .str" , " .jpg", ".mp3" and etc are automatically in black color - ready to "Share"?

Thank you for any suggestion!
LimeWire 4.14.8 / Vista

Open LW and go to Tools>Options>Sharing>Advanced, and add nfo to the list. make sure it is separated from the other extensions with a semicolon(;). Be sure to click "apply" and you may need to "Refresh" you library for the files to be shared.

Tanks so much "6_pac"! Works perfect! You are the best! Waiting for answer like this for a month in "New user forum"! Thank you!Appreciate!!!
One more question ...please ,,,?
When I have already downloaded some torrent file/move/ and it is in my computer for a wile how I can know from which INTERNET torrent page i downloaded it? I don't want to know from which seeder i downloaded, just from which INTERNET page i found and downloaded.
Why I am asking-because torrent site like Zamunda asking to seed for few days everything that you downloaded from them-it is fare, but my Hard Drive is limited and HAVE to remove some files....so how to know from where i download torrents?
Last Question,,,please? How i can know which files are THE MOST uploaded/seed/ from my computer so to keep this files alive, not to delete them. Lime Wire keep some information only for last session if you restart it information is lost.
How to keep my computer to seeding.....i notice that when i do not use computer for few minutes it goes to screen saver mode but later even LW working it goes to sleeping mode/I don,t know what is the name of this mode but it is not share files and when i move the mouse it starts. OS Vista/ HP Pavilion DV6000 Laptop?
Thank you so much again 6_pack!!!

I'm not up on torrents that much. Maybe someone else will be able to answer those questions.

Try changing the settings. Go to your Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options, and try setting them to never and see if it helps. To narrow it down just do one at a time. Turning off these options may cause your battery to run down quicker.

LW has only handled torrents for a short while. It's not quite upto par with some other torrent programs out there. If the site requires you to maintain a certain ratio, you may want to use the recommended program for that site or risk getting banned.

I'm sure the torrent sharing capabilities of LW will improve with time, but you may want to try programs like Azureus 2.5.0.4 and/or uTorrent 1.6.1.


*Thanks to sleepless for the info*

Thanks again!
Sorry for my english....please explain "LW has only handled torrents for a short while" - Is this mean if I do not delete a file from "share" LW will stop seeding this file after a wile? Is that correct ? What you mean HANDLED ....NOT SHARE OR WHAT?

LimeWire(LW) has only been able to d/load torrents since around december of 2006. AFAIK LW will seed a file as long as someone is trying to upload it from you. It just doesn't keep track of the ratio or require you to maintain a good ratio.......Again, I don't use LW for torrents so I'm not really sure.
