This "irregardless" of how long I stay connected. Makes one feel the reluctant leecher...
Why is that, do you think? I mean that only 24 files are found?

Have you clicked on 'p2p network' & made sure that your different categories are all ticked for sharing?
Sorry if this doesn't help - but when I started using the Alpha, it took me a while to realise why I wasn't sharing my files (even though my saved folder was selected within options)
