Just shut it off. Might as well, since:
1) PCMagazine did a download survey and 45% of all downloads were infected.
2) The RIAA is out and about finding and suing illegal downloaders.
3) Most if not all P2P software contains adware and spyware, which can be
difficult to remove, much less filter out the traffic thereof, with a
firewall.

Yes, this is sarcasm. I highly recommend not using any P2P software
whatsoever.
