No, that means that any of the files that are in your "Shared" Folders, can be downloaded. Usually the shared folders are your "music folder", "the "Shared' folder", "Limewire Downloads". Those 3 are the defaults that i know of that files can be downloaded from by other people.
Don't use Limewire, or any Peer2Peer. You get caught they will cut off your internet connection.

Yes, you dangerously are sharing your 2000 files, thats in your computer, with total strangers. You need to change your shared folder or sharing options ASAP.
A BIG warning: Limewire is notorious for having many, many BAD files. Thats viruses, spywares, trojans and other garbage files.
Let the user be aware.

Other user names on the computer. Technically, you can't really get caught that easily... they would probably have to be given a reason to monitor your downloading, so unless you've done something wrong on the computer that they already know about, it's very very rare. And even if they do, there is a lot of times where they won't bother to do anything about it because there is such a mass amount of people doing it. But yeah, it's with other users or files on your computer, not others.
Yes your sharing those files with whomever searches for a title you have. And yes homie you can be caught. But for the most part they have found it to be a waste of time trying to sue little grandma's and kids, just everyday yahoo's who don't have anything for them to collect. But the threat is still there!

yeah if you had a .01% chance of getting cought before by not sharing your files that chance goes down to .0000000001% so do this...go into The "Libary" Tab (on top of the screen) and the CLICK on the "Shared Files" Folder....This will give you the list of the files. HIGHLIGHT all of them and RIGHT-CLICK "Stop Sharing File" and there you have it. Virtually imposible to get cought.
