speaking of freeloaders???

i have about a 35GB of shared music. i have set my freeloader # at 5000, and the slide at rarely. even so i have chatted with brand new subscribers with no music. i chatted with them because they are uploading my music. the only reason i am trying to limit is because of the amount of uploads. i allow 2/5 so they upload faster. still constantly lined up. i left my comp on, went to someone else's comp, had to wait in line for my own music. my question is : why doesn't the freeloader work (for me not them)??

alright...thats sounds awesome...so this program u provided the link for makes it so external users cant look around my files and stuff??

No, you want a firewall for that and PG2 is not a firewall, it is an IP blocker.

However, if you want to give you PC as much protection as possible then a Firewall, like ZoneAlarm, and PG2 is the way to go, backed up with an AV app.

So I guess that's what they mean when they say size does matter:eek: . With a 40G hard drive, system_sav partition, xp, and the normal digital paperwork, I can barely float 4G on my drive before system restore starts threatening to shut down.
