Phantom files and phantom bytes!

On Kazaa, the text at the bottom which tells you how many files you're sharing, says I'm sharing 250 more files than I actually am. I've checked my shared folders list, and if I look in 'My Kazaa' , it has the correct number. It's just that bit at the bottom. Also, the blue bar that shows the progress of an upload/download sometimes runs over the edge of the box i,e downloaded/uploaded kilobytes sometimes exceeds the number of kilobytes in that file. Is something spooky going on?

The bar exceed the actual file size could happen if the user cancels and restarts.. I don't know, but I get it quite often. The file number is just buggy i think. Mine shows that i am not sharing any but my shared folder contains thousands and people still download from me.. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks Scatman. Just needed some reassurance that it was nothing dodgy.

Hello Elle hows tricks? Hope you are well. I use KaZaA-Lite. Sometimes boxes are ticked in the set up which allows files to be shared. Click on "My KaZaA". On tool bar at the top you should see a folder with a blue arrow pointing down.Click it. A "KaZaA File Import" widow opens.Cick on "Folder List".Anything ticked is open for others to download. Click open the + signs to check everything. Untick or tick things you want/do not want to share. Easier than it sounds.Take care.

Hi Robber. I did all that when I first noticed the problem, but there was only one folder ticked (which is the one folder that I'm sharing). It's just one of those things, I suppose.
