That sounds good.
I do share my download folder, even with small files, even though this
might be of not much use - Caveat Emptor!
However, I have found that the sharing of incomplete large files (over
100mb) is essential for these files to propagate effectively.
Unfortunately, there isn't an automated way for winmx to only share
large incompletes, otherwise I would do it.
One does have to be aware of what one's shares look like to the world.
