Does uninstalling lime wire cancel P2P sharing?

If you uninstall LW then you won't be able to share any files through LW.

Are you having some kind of problem with unwanted files being shared?

thanks. so that means they don't even use your pc a source?

That's right.

LW lets you connect to the Gnutella network for sharing files... providing LW is the only file sharing client that you have installed then uninstalling LW will mean that people can't use LW on your computer to download files from other people. And no other users will be able to use LW to download from your computer either.

If you just want to stop file transfers, you can set LW to shut down immediately when you close it. But if you want to get rid of p2p altogether then uninstall LW by going to start > all programs > LW > uninstall

thanks for the info. You've been a big help. I'm fairly new to all the file sharing and had installed limewire a while back but just wasn't using it as much as i thought i would. As it was the only p2p program i had installed I wanted to make sure that uninstalling it did close access to my pc.
