Hi MAP9475

I guess those computer messages can be somewhat worrying to a new user, but as I am someone that has used PCs years, I have learned to ignore those that do not interfere with what I am doing and try to decipher those that appear when my computer stops working.

You see, the people who write computer programs do not necessarily use the programs themselves, so when they think they are being helpful, with these messages, they instead just confuse the "heck" out of the rest of us.

And, fortunately or unfortunately, I have also worked with programmers in the past and I can say, without any shadow of a doubt, is that most of them do not think like most (ordinary) people.

So, my advice is, if a computer message does not prevent you from working (and as long as it is not a warning from one of your [protective] applications) then take it with "a pinch of salt" and not worry about it.

PS. Limewire is working properly with or without this (useless) message.

Thanks again. Can I ask a couple more?

Firstly, what part does the torrent file play apart from letting me download? Is it needed on my machine so that data can be uploaded to another user?

Secondly, sometimes on the upload screen I get the message "Unable to upload: transfer interrupted", with the option to click on Remove whereupon the filename disappears. I may find that this has happened several times with the same file. Same question as before - is there something I should be doing?

TIA

Is anyone able to advise me on these points please?
