Default Sharing without asking

Hi one and all,
Just a quickie !
Installed FWire a few weks ago, and I noticed after a few days, the Individually shared folder was , 1. Sharing a version of LWire I thought was Pro, (Running Pro) but possibly I didn't look carefully enough,2. I was also, UNASKED, sharing a load of files that I'd downloaded, I only realised when my sharing total climbed steeply !
Is this standard on FWire?
Should't that be explained,especially about the sharing of that folder as standard,unlike LWire where you have a choice in the matter??
Some might share without realising?
Just a thought.

I'm not sure how frostwire works, but when you install it for the first time does it have the option of searching your computer for files to share ??

Someone else here may have a better idea on why this happened...

Hi WW,
Yes you are offered that option,I decline and set my sharing folders to my own preference,so very frustrating to find your sharing files without '' Giving permission '' I believe FWire includes the basic version of LWire pre set to share,what confused me was it was sharing the pro version????? (I'm running Pro) Yet alone all my recent downloads.
