### How do I know if I'm sharing content and helping the LBRY network properly?
The easiest way to confirm that you are sharing correctly is to determine if the port used for seeding (3333) is open to the rest of the LBRY network. To do so, type 3333 into [this port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org) and check the result. It if shows "open", you are all set. If it shows "closed", you may need to check your router settings for UPnP options (set to enable) or forward TCP port 3333 and UDP Port 4444 to your local computer running the LBRY app. Firewall and NAT settings may also affect the availability of these ports.

When you press enter, you will be given both the direct url and search results
![Search](https://spee.ch/@clement:e/search-on-lbry.png)
Clicking the Enter key will skip the search function and go directly to the URL typed (if it's valid) - this is only helpful if you know the exact URL you are trying to view. We are still in the process of optimizing the search results; please bear with us if you are having trouble finding something!

### Content consistently fails to stream or download, what should I do?
Please see our [streaming guide](https://lbry.io/faq/unable-to-stream) if you consistently cannot download or stream content on LBRY. If you are having intermittent issues with download failures, try closing the LBRY app completely (including ending the "lbrynet-daemon" process in task manager) and re-initiating the download. Some files on the network may just not be available for various reasons - we'll work on filtering these out in the future.
