Q: My Firewalls warns me that there are many connections when I run
PowerFolder! I'm feeling attacked, what is happening?
A: Directly after startup PowerFolder automatically tries to connect
to other machines on the PowerFolder network.
This is required to discover your friends and/or people you exchange
files with. Since PowerFolder is a peer-to-peer application this is
normal.
PowerFolder NEVER transfers any of your files to foreign computers unless
you send an invitation to them.
Q: The traffic activity seems to be very high after program start,
whats the reason for that?
A: See question above - since PowerFolder is a pure peer-to-peer application
it has to communicate with other peers to send and retrieve contact
information about other users on the network. Every peer holds only
a small part of this information. That is why there is traffic.
Q: Is there a way to reduce the number of connections to my machine?
A: Yes, set an upload limit different to "Unlimited" under Preferences/Network.
Q: I have limited connectivity and/or can't connect to other users (black body).
A: This might be caused by a firewall, router or a windows connection share.
