Use LimeWire to transfer data files to a selected user
Authored by: callefjant on Apr 08, '05 03:33:03AM

I wouldn't use this method - ever, not even as plan y - to transfer a private file to someone. I'm not sure about LimeWire and it's protocol, but in similar stuff one may a) locate the file by searching for a part of that long, cryptic name (like bg or 87) and b) be able to browse a user's entire shared directories. This may or may not be a problem with LimeWire (I don't use it), but one funny guy somewhere will for sure know how to find your secret file since it, after all, is available on a public network.
