I have a category named "Desktop". This is for files that I want to be downloaded in my Desktop - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop.

I download a file, and when it is complete, the file is placed in the Desktop.

The problem is that the Desktop directory is automatically shared without permission. Soon after the file is placed in the Desktop, I saw in the Debug log, all the files in my Desktop being shared. This requires the directory to be unticked in the Preferences -> Directories.

I have downloaded another file in the same category. Again the Desktop directory was shared.

Could someone please confirm this bug. It is a serious privacy issue. Or is there any option to disable sharing which I do not know? It should not occur like this as a default behaviour.

It's not a bug, it's by design..

All "Incomming Folders" are shared...
