So If your Getting files from Limewire, that would be Downloading. If your adding files to Limewire, that would be uploading. I'm sure there could be some variances there, so what exactly are you doing??
A little FYI. The RIAA can come after you for both, so use P2P at your own Risk. If a file has a copyright, then it is illegal for you to have in your possesion unless You paid for it. MHO

You could also just stop sharing, but if everyone stopped sharing then P2P would become.....

My friend downloaded and didn't get caught for that. She got caught for uploading 24 songs. (Jamie Thomas) Yes I know her. But i thought RIAA goes after uploaders mainly?

I would take the advice of Wondering Why. See Links below.

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up....Peerguardian __(FREE)

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...
