I've still not had a single response to this so once again for anyone who can help!! I've just removed my portable harddrive with 40 Gigs of music because it's flashing like crazy but I can't see any sharing going on.

1. If I click on the 'Monitor' tab I have found that on only two occasions have I seen an upload. Given that I have over 40 Gig of music I would expect to see more.

2. If I enable 'Incoming searches', is this just showing me what people are searching for? Surely this is useless information to me.

3. Even though I cannot see many uploads, now that I have shared my music on a portable hard drive in addition to the default folder, I can see that my Hard Drive is working overtime after a half hour or so. It seems like people are accessing the music but I can not see what they are accessing. I'd like to make sure it's just the music and not the nuclear secrets I've been pedalling around the Middle East

4. Finally, what is a 'Leaf mode, shielded by an ultrapeer'?

Many thanks for any help.

Pro.
