[Mldonkey-users] keeps sharing local directory

[Brett Dikeman]

Okay- this problem is getting REALLY annoying :-)

Every few hours of operation, the disk goes wild, I run 'upstats', 
and see every single file in the mldonkey directory shared.  Source, 
INI's, everything.

Not only is this annoying(since servers quickly tell you "too many 
shares for this server!"), it is -dangerous-.  A remote user could 
theoretically download your ini files and see your user/password/port 
settings.

Every time I quit the client after this, it has added ""; to 
shared_directories; I remove it, start the client up again, and the 
problem returns yet again within as little as an hour.  This has 
happened a half dozen plus times in the last 2 days with 2.04rc1-11.

  I use the unshare command to unshare "", and it reports it 
successfully unshared the directory, but it doesn't stop sharing any 
of the files- they're still listed in upstats.

On a related note, when are we going to get the ability to -really- 
share and unshare files on the fly?  This seems the most basic of 
functionality...even the original 'official' edonkey client could do 
this.
