welcome to Pro?
 

I paid for Pro, because my downloads were taking forever.
Is it supposed to be faster? More connections? Seems like before without the tricky splash screen.

My old question persists. How come a search doesn't show the files that I am sharing?

Uh, I'm not too sure, but maybe because it would be pointless to be able to dld from one's self. From that point of view, it's also pointless to show your own files in your searches. If in the Shared folder under LW's Library tab you don't see any hits for the files you are trying to upload, then try the Magnets.
