Limewire for dummies

please tell me in plain language how this program works? Do people access my PC for songs? Is it a direct connection? Please....just a simple explaination. Thanks

Click on the Library window tab, then look at the folders that are listed. That's the maximum amount that others could possibly find thru gnutella searches. But then that can also be limited by not allowing partial file sharing, & not allowing to share new downlds. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Sharing to see what options you want this set at.
