![]() Rpbizzle You asked: Quote:
First, I have a modem router, containing a NAT table/firewall, that will automatically reject any internet communication that was not initiated by my PC. Second, I have installed Norton Personal Firewall, fully set to stealth all ports and reject anything that has not been requested. Third, I have switched off the “chat” function within LW, I understand that without “chat” the browse function has difficulty working. However, despite that I can download from others and I can monitor other P2P users downloading files from me. Finally, there is no function within LW that can tell you whether someone is or is not sharing their files. Therefore, your idea (or feeling) that “if you cannot browse someone they are not sharing their files” is entirely false. UK Bob Last edited by ukbobboy01; July 20th, 2007 at 10:02 AM.

![]() Therefore, your idea (or feeling) that “if you cannot browse someone they are not sharing their files” is entirely false. (unquote) BS. LW needs to address this problem as I will not tolerate people coming into MY living quarters (so to speak) and take up bandwidth from those out there that are unafraid and willing to be browsed. I think theres something fishy about all this. You let who ever you wish into your house but I'll have a little say so who comes into MINE. |

![]() Jesus, take a chill **** rpbizzle. The spirit of P2P is one of open access. The person who is downloading from you could be 13 or 73, they may be still wrestling with how to go about using LW or maybe they have just started using it and ain`t built up anything to share as yet. Nobody is entering your home, you designated a share folder when you set up the program and deemed it ok for people to access it when you did so. I don`t view access to my share folder as a personal one to one issue, this is a community and I open my folder to that community because the community opens its folders to me. |

![]() I find you hard to understand rpbizzle, in all honesty I think you may just have a problem with the world in general and are looking for a soapbox to stand on to vent your inner rage. Ain`t there a bit of duality going on here? You are using LW and may quite conceivably be using it to download copyrighted material, but while you are at it you appear to be wishing to apply a form of copyright of your own, namely, if there is nothing in it for you then they ain`t having what you have either. I have never searched an uploaders share folder, I am not interested in looking as if I want something I use the search and seek it from there. I stress again that this is a community we are in, if you start to see this as a personal one on one venture then maybe you need to re-assess your viewpoint. |
