How long time will it take?
 

How long time it will take before the files i"been put out on limewire to reach other users so other can download.
(If i put out xxxx and a user search for xxxx,how long time will it take to the user can get the xxxx?)

This depends on your settings. It can be immediate ... in fact it can even be before you finish downlding a file.

If you're adding your own material for sharing, see How to Share Folders (click on link) But once you've added files, you 'might' need to go the LW Library window & press the Refresh button before LW accounts for it. It depends.

To share files you're downlding, there's different ways.
1. You can share partial downlds where people can downld portions of your & other peoples downlds or shared files by getting from more than one source which will speed up their downlding. ie: they downld portions or segments of the file. To allow this, go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Uploads>Basic & tick the option for Allow Partial Sharing.

2. To share files immediately you've downlded them, go to Tools>Options>Sharing & tick the option for Share finished downlds.

3. By default, your downld folder called 'Shared' is a sharing folder. But these files are not shared immediately unless you press the Refresh button or restart LW. But this is not necessary if you tick the option in no. 2 above.

As soon as the file is in your share and LW is up and running and your files are being shared someone can sucessfully search for and download the file.

How long it will take for someone to download the file is anyones guess ... it all depends who's out there looking for it:D
