Is it safe to share files in limwire !?

Limewire is merely a vehical or protocol if you will...  Always run anti-virus software and spyware software anyway...\n\nI find the application from the link below particularly usefull... not only for p2p related activity but for web browsing as well. You can set it up to block connections from whatever you want, much like a firewall.  It is best to not allow connections from your computer to say some record label or movie company.\n\nI always set it up to block p2p stuff, ad servers, the government, etc.  It is quite easy to figure out how to use.

Not necessarily. Disable sharing your drives, and turn on the firewall if you're using Windows XP

you cant not even swf files will be safe because if you go to the directory C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;youraccountinname&#92;\nLocal Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files&#92;Content.IE5\n\nyou can find any file on that web page because all web page get downloaded to this folder just about everything you see on a web page gets downloaded to this directory try it and find out for yourself

Are you trying to share the files at on your own personal network, or somewhere else?

Yes, it is.  I'm sorry that I don't know how to tell you exactly how to do this, but since no one else is responding, i'll tell you what i know.\n\nIf you open windows explorer and look at the folders under "My Computer," you'll find a "Shared Documents" folder.  (I have Windows XP.)  Anything you put in there is available to other computers on the network.\n\nAlso in Windows Explorer, you can right click on any folder and select Properties.  On the Sharing tab, you can make the folder available to others or make it private.  (Again, I'm basing this on Windows XP.)\n\nWell, I guess I did know how to do it!\n\nAdvice: use your system help files to learn more.

I use FileZilla - it's free, OPEN SOURCE, and works very well.  They also have FTP SERVER software available.

I have been using Limewire for quite sometime and never had any problems but after a download I always check for virus on the file SHARE with my own anti-virus software. If you want something really safe go to (www.mp3searh.ru) you can download full cd´s for $1.18 or less and virus free check it out let me know if you do OK?

After having downloaded Ares the other day i've found it to be quite a goood little program.\n\nIt won't cause any harm to your PC and doesn't use too many resources either.\n\nAll in all, perfectly safe. It's the content you download with it you need to be careful of, as with any P2P app.

P2P is generally not legel unless you download those which are freely available elsewhere.\nAnd it has no garranty to be safe.

Hey Pal,\n\nTo use the windows file sharing, you should just share one folder! \nbut if you have problem, try to check your connectivity use PING command, after you got the result try to check firewall configuration!\nit should work after you check these things.\n\nCiao,

Limewire as a software does not infect the computers with viruses. But since the whole concept of file sharing is to allow users to easily share the files, care should be taken to ensure that you take the files from a reliable source as there are different types of people out there

Right click the folder and go back into properties and uncheck the "share this folder" box. It is really that easy and simple. As the owner of the file you can choose how and when you wish to share. You can share for long enough to just allow somebody a quick peek or for weeks, months and years. Until somebody higher up in the company decides to take ownership of this file from you, you can continue to share as you please. It is possible though for your administrator to take over ownership of any file and folder on the network. It is not difficult to do. You would know right away when that occurred and most admins really will tell you what they are going to do before they do it, but it is still something he/she can do. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

Using peer to peer you share your files and will get busted. Using Usenet you only download and don't share.  Checkout www.newzbin.com
