I give up you are as dinse as they come

AFAIK LimeWire is working on the concept of particular sharing. So you can share what you want with particular people such as family members. I suspect that more or less covers the topic.

LW's browse is highly unreliable. Sometimes you can browse someone & get 20 results, sometime later you get 600 results, or ... you can't browse them one moment, but then 20 mins later you can & they're sharing a healthy sum of files. And vice versa, sometimes you can browse someone & they have perhaps 2,000 files with 4 star connection quality. 15 mins later, their connection quality has dropped to 2 or one or their share seems to have dropped. ie: Their bandwidth & slots have become busy so it shows in how well you can browse them & connect to their files if you choose to downld them. Too many people using LW make the mistake thinking that browsing is a definitive way to find whether people are sharing or not. :rolleyes:

BTW no more arguments on your points between each other. Enough! Any more reference to each other & your posts will be either edited or deleted.

(I never used winmx so can't comment. I have used several dc & dc++ clients on different platforms. Yes, minimum share depends upon particular hub. Freeloaders wouldn't get too far AFAIK. lol :D Have difficulty connecting anywhere except perhaps a joke hub or ...)

Thanks for the info, LotR.
