Im sharing about 50 files(all full games). And i was just wondering if i get hits, does this mean that the person is downloading already, or they have to hit and upload to start their downloading?


I wanted to know, cause i dont mind sharing files and i wanted to make sure everything was Ok. Most of the time i only see hits, and no uploads, so get back to me asap.

Thanks!

Hits doesn't always mean someone searched for just that file. Some of the terms in the file name might also trigger a hit in response to a search. It's irritating when someone just searches for ".jpg", and all my photos show a hit.

What client are you using? In LW, there are a number of ways to monitor uploads. You can turn on the monitor page from the view menu, look at the upload bandwidth in the tools->statistics, and sort the uploads (completed/attempted) column in the library window.

Cheers--glad to see a sharer posting.
