Subscribing? If you have doubts, try LW Basic 1st so you can learn how it works. Later if you want to support the Pro development then consider it. Get it here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

If you have a monthly limited bandwidth for downlding, sharing will add to the total. If you don't have such limits then you're fine. Gnutella is based around sharing. That's how it works. What you find & downld is what other people like yourself are sharing. If nobody shared, there'd be nothing to downld for anybody. Giving back is a part of the gnutella community spirit. ;)

Normal: You have no need to be afraid of sharing. Just make sure that when you have chosen what you want to share that that is ALL you are sharing. In Limewires Tools>Preferences>sharing>shared folders you will see the folder(s) you are sharing and that is all anyone else can see on your computer or download from you.

Let us know if you have any more concerns, and enjoy using Limewire. We do :)
