Talking Newfer here.....any suggestions?

Just signed up and have only used Limewire a couple days....so "Howdy" to whomever and no, I'm not a cowboy..ha!

I am concerned about security and knowing how to best set up options to limit access to my files appropriately, and would like to have a clearer understanding of what an "ultrapeer" connection is and what any downside that may exist in allowing it.

In general, are there any basic recommendations you might have for me as a new and naive user of limewire in order to protect myself from making any major mistakes.

Thanks so much......Windmaker

....
Type a keyword into the search box for instance Ultrapeer and it will bring up many threads discussing that topic...
There are also heaps of stickys full of info that can help you...
To get you started this sticky is always wise to read before downloading....

as far as i know being a ultrakeeper is no disadvantage to yourself or others,
in fact, it helps slower users use the network.

Hi Windmaker.

USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The record company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.

Peace.

Wondering Why -

Thanks for your reply. I was wondering why they offer an option to disable ultrapeer connections if it's all to the good...that's why I asked.
