i dont want to get caught, i have over 1,000, and after i saw yall posts.............but anywayz how do i make a new folder to share??

thank for your help , but 1 more thing, is this goin to keep me from gettin caught??

I have tried to upload my own personal demo's (wmv) format, anyway, I have never had much luck with it being grabed , why ?

Should I convert it to mpeg to make it more attractive ?

Or do I need to use more exciting key worded names?

Or does it just take time before files get uploaded to enough users ?

I have seen other people's personal home made files and wondered hmmm, where am I going wrong ?

popular stuff I can upload, so I don't think its a technical issue.

And my second inquiry, why is it that ,I can't find those older music videos from the 90's you know?

Is it because in my 30's im just an old man and most users are teenagers or what?

thanxs - to anyone that posts.

converting to mpeg or avi would be a good idea. wmv files are not the most trusted format. There is a sticky somewhere at the top of one of the forums about wmv files.

naming the files is something you neeed to work out yourself. You could always offer the same file under different titles and see which one attracts more attention.

As soon as your Limewire is loaded and all the files are hashed, others can see your files. How long they will take to appear in peoples searches depends mostly on luck and your choice of titles. but for best results you must be sharing for several hours ... just putting a share up for an hour is no use atall

Posting a new thread would have been a good idea btw... not adding onto an old one that is totally unrelated

Older music videos ... really I dunno.

I hope this helps a bit

So, you can have shared files on your computer, but just not be sharing alot? So you could like highlight all your files > right click > hit stop sharing, and then you'd be pretty safe?

Hi phuk,
Yeah you could do that but then you'd just be a freeloader

Nah, cuz the new files you DL would be shared :P

You guys have a habit of making everything black or white

If you have more files shared than you feel safe sharing

Try searching for them on the network. If there are many people sharing it, then there is no need for you to share it as well.

I know it takes a while to do, but it's the best way to cutting down on your shared files, because you will not be removing files from the network

Hi folks, a simple legal heads up for the newbies...

The keyword is "Copywrite"

Now I cannot speak for the US, but here in the UK it is illegal to dowbload anything that is copywrite that you have not been given permission and/or purchased.

Defined as simply as possible, you are NOT shareing, you are copying, the original still exists, its not like borrowing a CD from your mate and returning it, it IS like borrowing it and copying it, this is illegal.

In the UK you are permitted to make one copy of your own DVD/CD original as a backup, and you must be able to produce the original if asked by law.

Same in US
