Do they check people's files that they have for sharing, even if the name isn't suspicious?

A) not nearly specific enough (what P2P protocol?)
B) they dont exactly publish manuals

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
-Abraham Lincoln

There's one anti-P2P company that tries to download every pdf on the planet and it's obvious they
don't even check to see what they are downloading. Those guys are more of a political group against
P2P though, and they don't bother with copyright on video or music.

The anti-P2P companies that are chasing after movies and music aren't wasting their time browsing
through everybody's collections. They aren't being paid for that. What they do is concentrate on
specific things they are paid to track, like album x by artist y or movie z, and then mail out toothless
complaints to ISPs by the truckload in hopes of fooling maybe 10% of the people that they are being
watched and scaring them a bit. Well, it just isn't happening and years of lawsuits and more years of
trying to get ISPs to commit suicide by playing the three strikes game aren't working either.

The only time they tried to check peoples' files was when they were trying to scare everybody by suing
a few people. That didn't work and they gave it up because it was doing them more harm than good.

Alright, I was wondering because I had a file uploaded of something I made, and I kept getting AntiP2P connections with my computer, so I stopped sharing it, and they stopped. It could be that that's just how my P2P program works, and not that they're actually downloading what I have for download..

In a P2P like limewire, if you search for something do you connect to somebody matching what you searched for, even if you don't download?
Example is searching "bob" and connecting to anyone with anything related "bob"
