This is the way it's suppose to work, I'm told. (If you click on the Files toolbar button you will see your download folder is shared.) This is a mechanism that forces people to share files. Many people download files from Gnutella, but they do not share any files for others to upload. The operation of the Xolox client is meant to discourage this behavior.

I would like to disable sharing of the download folder because I want to screen any files I download before I make them available for uploading. I want to make sure I'm not passing on any virus-infected files, corrupt images, mis-named files, etc. My only solution so far is to write a small program that automatically moves files out of the Xolox download folder and into a non-shared holding folder.
