You know, people like yourself believe that if you can't "browse a host" then that host is not sharing their files, nothing can be further from the truth.

Many junior members have written in this forum saying "as a host can't be browsed therefore it is not sharing", I can only assume they have come to this mistaken belief based only on a "feeling". Simply because they have not read any article, knowledge base or user guide that has made such a claim.

Most senior/knowledgable LW users know that their can be quite a few reasons why a host cannot be browsed but still share their files, for example I have a firewall which, I understand, prevents my shared files from being browsed. Yet, without a doubt, other P2P users such as LW, Morpheus, Sharaza, Phex, etc. can download files from my PC.

I think your annoyance is based on lack of research, therefore it is always best to debate your idea first before making such requests.

I also want a option to disable users from getting files from me if THEY do not allow me to browse their files while they are getting file from ME.

If USERS that want files from me do NOT allow me to browse their files then I don't want them to get files from me!
I don't even see where to turn the browse host option OFF on the version of Limewire I have.
Right now I am limiting getting files from me by hand one at a time! If the browse host button doesn't highlight in Monitor, Queued, I Kill the upload!
