Just A Bit Of AdviceIf you're going to go on LimeWire to download porn to your laptop, make sure that you turn it off before you go to the office, otherwise IT personnel will find your collection that you've unwittingly shared with the office. You see, LimeWire has default settings to share all files that have been successfully downloaded to all iTunes applications on the network. Anybody who is running iTunes and has their iTunes set to look for shared playlists will find your LimeWire downloads.Whoops... . 5 CommentsDave Goodman said on 08/29/06 @ 10:48 PM:Heh. Good advice. Also applies to MP3s, as I've learned. You might mention that it's not just LimeWire, but the majority of file-sharing systems, whether BitTorrent or eDonkey or Gnutella, etc. Jake said on 08/30/06 @ 09:40 AM: Sorry, I don't use iTunes, but do the rest of those apps communicate with iTunes as well? slider said on 08/30/06 @ 11:51 AM: This reminds of a dude I once worked with who would surf porn during his midnight shift. This computer illiterate dingbat didn't know that that he had left up over 20 pages up when he went home. When confronted by his supervisor he said, "well... looks like you caught me with my pants down!" Dave Goodman said on 08/30/06 @ 11:59 AM: I don't use iTunes either. But I've used a variety of filesharing programs like BearShare, Shareaza, BitTorrent, uTorrent, etc. Filesharing systems aren't very effective if nobody shares their files, so by default they all seem to share the files in your sharing folder, which is typically the same one you download into. So if you download MP3s or movies or games (or porn) with a filesharing program and don't move them, you're sharing them (at least while the client is running). When I download huge applications (like NASA's World Wind) I like to use a torrent because it downloads faster and puts less stress on the net. Jake said on 08/30/06 @ 12:02 PM: Oh, I use torrents for a ton of downloads, too, but I wasn't aware of anything else that opening communicated with iTunes, but maybe I'm just out touch.
