BearShare will only respond to other user's searches if you have allow uploads checked or
allow push uploads checked in the uploads page. If you are sharing a large number of files,
make sure you put a low limit on the maximum number of files returned for search
results in the setup dialog. If you make the limit too high (50 can be too high), your
computer will send large amounts of data to your host connections. If your hosts cannot
keep up, they will get dropped.
Note that BearShare overcomes the limit of 255 files per search result set in the Gnutella
protocol by simply sending more than one query hits response for each query.
