Upload capacity and the users that are queing are not an issue with me. OptOnline did not cut me because of the amount that was being uploaded, but because of the amount of time my pc does upload. No matter if I lower the band to a slower speed for those uploading, it will only increase the time to which my machine is uploading and therefore OptOnline system is going to get me for being a server faster.
I did question them on this point. I even asked how long could I upload in a given hour or day that would keep me within their guidlines, and the tech told me, that it varies from state to state and he could not give me an answer, other than to cut back and that if I get cut back too many times my service would be discontinued.
I am sure they know I am using the LW and are just trying to deter me from using it. I was told to go back and read their rules and warning about uploads. Thats why they mention it at their website and ask their users to avoid these share programs.

Second line first paragraph ..."and may slow down your connection speed" Yes it slows down my connection speed when they cut me back for using the software.
I am going to try leaving the system open at full for about 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening and see if can get away with that, plus try to let the current user finish their upload first within a reasonable time. I do not enjoy cutting anyone short, I enjoy sharing my files. Besides those oldies I share have been paid for dozens of time over and over. 75 % of those artist are dead anyway. Enough is enough.
