Complete Noobie (shared folder/browsing)
 

Hi,
Ok Im new to this so be gentle with me.
I have only 2 questions which Im hoping someone can help with.

1. When I click on the monitor tab, I can see a list of names, Im presuming who are browsing my 'shared folder'.. I can see several browsers all with the same ID, how can I limit to only one browse per username??

2. If they are browsing that folder, can they get access to any other folder on my hardrive, I am using the bog standard settings.

I have to say, seeing one person browsing my folder with several log in's does worry me somewhat.
I hope the above makes sense to someone....

TIA

wow, 30 views not one answer...amazing I thought you guys out there knew all about this prog...
Oh well lets try another just to spice things up a bit.
Ive downloaded a couple of movies off LW, one is fine and plays no problem, the other ******** is a dvd rip but will not play at all on my PC, Ive even downloaded a different version with the same effect, just will not play.

Well, you could've used the forum search:blink:

1. When you click on the Monitor tab, if you've got the 'show incoming searches' box ticked, the top half of the screen shows a list of incoming searches that somehow relate to files that you're sharing. In the bottom part of the screen, you'll see a list of uploads in progress/completed (other users downloading your files)

If you want people to only be able to download one file at a time from you, go tools > options > uploads > slots. You can change the number of uploads per person there. Click apply to save the change.

2. You control what folders are being shared. Tools > options > sharing will show you which folders are being shared...you can change this at any time.

Are you getting any error messages when you try to play the movie? Have you tried using another player? This one's good & has codecs installed to play most file types: VLC media player

Did you check the movie with Bitzi before download? If it won't play at all, no matter what player you try, maybe it's just a crap file.
Bitzi Web Lookup

If you're getting error messages about missing codecs, use the forum search to look for codecs...you'll find heaps of info.
