By default all mp3's are shared upon adding them to your library.
All the files show a grey check mark,you can easily change them to show
as green if you prefer.Click + to expand the file list...
click the top file once...... hold shift and scroll to the bottom file using the scroll
bar and click on the bottom file.Now right click anywhere in all the highlighted
files and hold mouse on share..... 3 options will appear
,choose the middle option shared... all your files will
now be green.

Also,do you not see users in your uploads on the transfers screen?
that would definately tell you that your files are being shared :p

browsing yourself is also an option

My problem is with people who will not share with you because to them you are a leech if you have less than 200 files to share. Since I have only about 160 or so, gues that makes me undesirable to some other users.

It is unfortunate that some users set mxm or leechammer restrictively, about the only things possible are to try messaging such users & politely suggest they review their settings, in the light of the fact not all users arrive on winmx with a huge selection of files to share and that those who share predominantly video are unlikely to have the disk space to share large numbers...

Unfortunately most of the anti-leech tools also have auto-ignore settings, so messaging might not be an option, as you won't know you don't meet the user's opinion of sufficient share till after those tools clear & ignore you..

Apart from the above, the only other thing possible is to build your share up over time till you stop running into these barriers.

it depends on the router make & model, those same routers (not all) that force hosts to enter their bots using a loopback address also prevent self-browsing
