Default Blocked browse
While monitiring, some have the browse option blocked. How can I prevent those with this option blocked from connecting to me. By god, if their not willing to share with me, I'm sure as heck not going to share with them.

See attached.

Just because you can't browse someone that does not mean they are not sharing their files.

Really. Tell me this then: How are they able to block browse?

I'd rather not have someone able to get something from me without at least giving me the "option" to browse them to see if they might have something of interest to me. This isn't a one way street here.

Looks like I'll be adding a lot of IP's to my filter. And then kick their butt off my computer.

That's a really pathethic way of looking at things...You have been told that the browse host is not always reliable...For instance a firewall may be preventing you from seeing what a person is sharing...

I have given my IP number to a friend to browse my files and for about an hour they couldn't do it and all of a sudden it worked...

So don't be so narrow minded...

Hea guess what?! It's like walking into my house, take a look around and taking anything they want without permission. Narrow minded?! Whatever! I'm 49 years old and couldn't care less what you think of me on a personal level. I have a suggestion.....send me my 18.88 back and I'll use a different program. If this is your idea of user support, I can do without it. Who the freaking hell are you to pass judgement of others anyway? Your not God. I think something is fishy about the truth of this blocked browse issue.

You seem to passing the judgement, by blocking every IP you can't browse...
Tell you what why don't you make this complaint to the developers of limewire and stop spamming this forum with all your crap...

I see no point of even having this browse option when 99.999999% of them are blocked. I've only added about 30 IP's to the filter this morning.
