leechers
 

i can see the point for newbies not knowing this i have been myself , the ones whom are the most concerning art the socalled experianced ones whom block chat or stop you from browsing ther files,they also tend to keep comeing back till the get what they want dispite your eforts to converse with them :mad: i do belive in shareing and like to offermore but not to freeloaders whom wont return the good will that this network was originaly here for, If your not willing to participate in this principal dont bother whinging when your blocked off the network! just for the rcords i do share with newbys with 0 shred if the chat back to me i am happy to seeto the honest ones get there desires meet :)

red dwarf...this the second post Ive read from you in the last 2 minutes and they say the same thing. We understand you hate leechers...no need to repeat it

how about a 'charter' showing an Ideal Minimum set of files to share; a guide something like this:-

Ideal Minimum Share Charter

1. 20 music files
2. 2 films
3. 10 pieces of popular software

Of course many share much more than this.

Also, maybe LW should be made only to work with a mimium share.

I sort of agree with this too. But then, lots of users start out with nothing & then share what they've downlded. But having it as a recommendation & stressing the point this is a p2p sharing program would also help. ALso that some people don't like leechers or freeloaders.

I am a newbie and I have no idea how to share. Please enlighten me because I have a mess of cd's I would like to share. Is it as simple as copying them to the "Share" folder that Lime set up at registration?

I stopped sharing, maybe it'll reduce the chance of being caught, so what if i'm a freeloader, its not against the rules

Where you live? Is it even illegal to share copyright material where you live. If it is then why not share non-copyright material. If nobody shared then how would p2p work?

jebhavlik I presume you have a cd burner or mp3 audio extractor. If not, people might be able to suggest a whole rane of mp3 tools to do the job.
Might I suggest you try iTunes which will convert the songs to mp3 or m4a for you & can play & burn cd's: Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes iTunes will also keep your music very well organised; artist>album folders; eg: Albumwrap/iTunes

Then after extracting your music (or before), go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Sharing & press the Add button & direct it to the iTunes Music folder to select this to share. Alternatively go to LW's Library window then menu File>Add Folder to Share, & direct it to where your folders to share are (eg: below)

Thanks for the info and welcome to my files! Thanks for being a part of the solution...education is the key.

Files sharing
 

I have been trying out Limewire version after version. Now I have just downloaded version beta 4.9.4. When it was first installed, it download just fine but only for 1 or 2 minutes. The speed was OK at first then it goes down straight to 0. I do not know what happen. I have been reading the forum trying to find answers. I wish to share my files but unfortunately all my files are between 2% to 50%. :( :confused:
