Default Sharing folders/files

Click on p2p Network in LW's sidebar. Beside each file there's a box in the Share column. A tick in the box means that the file's being shared on the network for other people to download.

There are a few different ways that you can share files within a folder that you've just added to your library...

1. Drag folders into P2P Network. Find the folder on your computer & then drag it into LW's P2P Network.

2. Tick the boxes next to the files that you want to share. If you want to unshare files, untick the boxes.

3. Highlight a block of files by clicking on a file & holding down the shift key until you reach the last file that you want to share. You'll see a block of files highlighted. Right click in that block & choose 'share'.

If you want to stop sharing files, do exactly the same thing but choose 'unshare'.

4. If you want to share files that aren't grouped together, click on a file. Hold down the coltrol key (ctrl) & click on all the files that you want to share. Right click on a highlighted area & choose 'share'.
