Therefore; in order to be fair here to the people that is downloading from me. I stopped sharing all of those files and watched the monitor tab for a while. Now I see lots of users downloading other files. All different ones and all from Limewire users too. Hmmmmm. Something I�ve never seen. I won�t be putting them back on till Limewire implements some sort of control on the upload slots that actually work!
I think you're 99% on the money there.

But rather than hackers using a complicated "network" of different PC's running different File Sharing programs and somehow combining the parts into a single file (I'm a programmer but can't think of how such an app would work), I suspect it is more likely someone has figured out a way to exploit a small loophole in LW... that the lowest setting on "Allow Freeloaders" is "rare" but not "never".
