LimeWire is the name of a popular P2P program.

P2P stands for "Peer to Peer". You are correct to assume that when you download a file on a P2P network, you also upload that file to other people who would like to download it as well. In turn, other people must upload the file to you for you to download it. This is how a Peer to Peer network works. If no one uploads anything, you wouldn't be able to download anything.

Yes. If someone downloads from you, it does count towards your monthly data usage.

Peer 2 Peer is the technology behind most sharing applications. Essentially the songs you download and are only available because others shared with you, so you should share with them as well.

limewire is a peer to peer program.
if you download something of limewire your actually downloading it off somebody elses computer.
so if somebody downloads something of your computer it is using up mb. so it will add to your monthly data usage.

p2p means "peer to peer" basically you have, you share it. You're not uploading it to others, but you do have it available for others to download if they search for it.

Peer to peer. Meaning from one person to one person. Someone uploads a file, and someone downloads it directly from that person.
