Posting Whiz in Training
And, just as a general tip, if someone messages you out of the blue asking for you to 'see thier new vacation photos,' with a direct link to it. I would very strongly recommend to think before you click, and ask if they've been on vacation recently.

Concerning the P2P comments....if you do wish to use them...try DC++.....it is extremely advanced...it runs on a different network as GNUTELLA (Limewire, Bearshare, KaZaA)...I have used it....the moderators are very strict...and the more files you share, the better the network you are in. Hope this helps
