whats all this now alright, im new at this so try not to think im a big dummy but whats all this now? is it really possible that i am sharing files in locations other than my downloads folder? is there another program that i can use? Where can i get intelligent background information on this issue so that i can make informed decisions, et cetera. thanks for any help |
hmm.. Go to setup> sharing.. you see those folders listed? those are the only folders people can look in too.. you see the smaller list to the right of it? those are the only file types people can see :) Becker |
Hi! If anyone have time... read Watchers post... the first one... He/she was talking about bearshare.net and the cookies... Only an information! Morgwen |
wow, thanks for all your help well, i checked it out and bearshare was only sharing its own downloads folder, morpheous, on the other hand seemed to be sharing my whole local hard drive by default (i might be new at this file sharing stuff~but i know i didnot configure it to do that). any one using morpheous, keep an eye out - i called all my friends who use it, no one else was sharing c: - but a couple of them were sharing c:\program files, crazy hey |
Morpheus shares only one folder: C:\Program Files\Morpheus\My Shared Folder But if you change something you can also share your HD... It is not the fault of Morpheus... you have to pay attetion of your settings... Is this is all new for you, you can asked me - I know almost every client! Morgwen |
morpheous i thought about what you said - frankly, i could not believe that i would do something that would share my entire drive without noticing it, so i removed all the morpheous files and reloaded it from the disk that i orginally load it from and guess what, it went right back to sharing the whole hard drive - then i downloaded a new version from the net, installed that and it defaulted to just the shared folder. weird hey - the friend who provided it to me was maybe not so friendly? |
Do you trust your friend? Do not install files if you donīt trust them 200%... Is he an programmer? Morgwen |
sorry it took so long to get back yes, he is a programmer and i thought i trusted him - but i won't be using his software anymore - i'm just back online after massive crash and i think all may be related - thanks for the heads up - I'd probablly still be asking him to help me fix this beast if not - thanks again. |
What's funny is this was reported over a year and a half ago and you can still pull up those cookies by searching with bearshare as a keyword. Seems like someone likes this feature. That someone should fix it. If you think it's simply some idiot sharing their entire C drive, then search for typical windows files, you won't find as many as those cookies. This is something worse than you think. |
The cookies also appear on more than one BearShare client. I did a search on the keyword "bearshare" in Gnucleus. One cookie was shown on 19 different hosts, another was on six different hosts. Looks like BearShare is sharing a little too much. |
