Bug Description
When any of the shared folders includes a NTFS symbolic link, both hashing and file sharing (of that particular file will fail).
The default sharing implementation won't hash that file and will end up hogging all CPU resources (limited to one core). If fast hashing is disabled, the symlink can be hashed but the file size is still reported as 0B. The end result is that no one can download this file.
NTFS hard-links to files, junctions to folders all work as expected.
