I just downloaded and ran the setup for LimeWire 2.7.3 but am having trouble setting up my shared folders. I have several folders which I would like to share, however they all also have several subfolders which I also want to share. Every time I select the main folder, only that folder and one sub-folder is shown in my library. Do I have to selece EACH subfolder in order to share it?

Think I answered my own question... I wasn't giving the program enough time to add the subfolders AND files to the library after I selected them to share.

It seems every time I start Limewire it has to reindex all the shared files (41,000). Is there a way that I can have it use the previously created indexes.

The problem is that, if I am sharing a very large set of data, I will have to suffer the waste of my computing resources re-indexing my shares, every time I start Limewire.

Can this be done on demand, instead of automagically (slwo and wastefully)?

You need to let it finish. It takes a long time. I run LimeWire and then go to: File > Disconnect
and let it do its thing. Once it's done, you won't have the problem anymore. They load in a few seconds now. (+650 files)
