I first downloaded this app and watched with awe as the screen filled up with dozens of files. Far faster and better than the Gnutella net. Great, right? But then I looked at my DSL modem lights and noticed the lights flashing long after I had quit the app. I did some snooping, and it turns out there was a game network using my machine, and a ton of "possibly unfriendly" requests at my firewall. I tried a slightly later version, and the same thing happened. So unless and until these security concerns are addressed, I'm sticking to older, pokier software.

Swift, could you briefly explain how you saw that a game network was using your machine? Where did you look to see that? And where did you see the "possibly unfriendly" requests to your machine?I'm just a guy who knows nothing and who would like to be able to tell if somebody is trying to missuse my machine.
Thank you.
