Share Widget

The Share Widget lets you control if a file is shared with the P2P Network and, or with friends.

The P2P Network is a group of person to person users who create the Gnutella Network. When you are searching the network, you are searching for files hosted by users like you on the P2P Network.

You can access the Share Widget through the file's share icon which can either be:

  • Image:ShareIconDisEnabled.png disabled; the file is not shared
  • Image:ShareIconEnabled.png enabled; the file is shared

Here is the share icon as seen in the videos category of My Library:

Once you share a file, the share icon is enabled as shown for the subway statue file.

Friends

When using the Friends feature, the Friend share icon appears near the file and means:

  • Image:FriendShareIconDisabled.png - not shared with any friends
  • Image:FriendShareIconEnabled1.png - shared with one friend
  • Image:FriendShareIconEnabled2.png - shared with multiple friends

Note: the number lists the number of friends you are sharing with so it can grow beyond two.

When you click on either the P2P Network or Friends share icons, you get the Share Widget to manage sharing with both the P2P Network and, or friends. Here, you are sharing an image with the P2P Network and Abby, and haven't yet shared it with Dan:
