Why is Xfire uploading data? What is it uploading?
The Xfire File system is a P2P system. If you download files from Xfire and leave them in the default directory with your download settings on, they are eligible to be “shared” with others using the Xfire File system. If you do not wish to share files: • Move the files out of the downloads folder when they are complete. • Set your Tools | Options | Files settings to ‘Disabled’. If you disable your Xfire downloads, you will still get interim game updates for the latest game support and Xfire Updates via P2P but they will not be shared with the Xfire network. Remember, if everyone just downloaded the files they wanted and then set those options to disabled, the file system would be considerably slower.
