Morpheus

Computers & Internet Forum

Hi there, I'm a beginner in filesharing and have a question about Morpheus.

I once read a faq-section on their website where they stated that Morpeus will ONLY share the files that the user has actively placed in "my shared folder".
So far so good, but here's the tricky part:
Even when I have placed no files in "my shared folder", the traffic window still reads "sharing 1 file(s)" for a brief moment following download.
So what's the story? Is the file shared or not?

It's because when you install Morpheus, it automatically installs the Morpheus Setup Installer in the shared folder, no worry it's a normal thing that every p2p file sharing does.
I saw that you're new in file sharing, well...WELCOME! I'll give you an advice...continue using Morpheus because it's been the best for years.

Thank you for that answer and YES, I will definately continue using Morpheus.
You seem to hold way more knowledge than I, so perhaps you will also be able to answer a question of more paranoid nature.

As written previously, they say Morpheus will only share
"my shared folder" by default, and have done so since the first version.
But if one enters configurations and "shared directories", one will note something that contradicts this.

Not only "My shared folder" is listed there but also
"my downloads" and one more folder.

So what's it mean? Are those additional folders being shared as well, even though they deny it at Morpheus?

Or am I paranoid?
