Why? I know the problem with a 56k Modem! You want to download a huge file (so slow) and you need your half bandwidth to keep your connection alive... and you wait hours and hours until the file is dowloaded (hopefully)... meanwhile nobody has downloaded a file - makes this sense?

Ok, you will say how can somebody download when I have disconnected from gnet...
The truth is I never have disconneted from gnet, but if I had a modem today I would do it.
I used bearshare three months with a 56k (almost daily), in this three months I have uploaded 12MB...

12 MB for the price of half of my bandwidth!

Moak I think its loooooooong time ago you used a 56k...
