Default More uploads than allowed (and a few other questions)

Although this doesn't happen often, I have found this to happen sometimes.

Now, my Max Uploads Slot is 3 and the max number of uploads per user is 1. If there's a large queue or someone in the queue just wants to download a really small file, I will usually temporarily increase that, but that's not the point.

However, once I found that the same IP address was downloading FOUR files at once! That's more than one user should be doing and more uploads than there should be. Is it a glitch or something? It isn't often this kind of thing happens (it's happened maybe only three times), but I'm curious as to how/why it's happening.

As long as I'm asking, there's something else...if I click "kill upload", I know that stops the upload. But does it prohibit the person from ever uploading that file from me?

Also: I do share files, of course, but if I'm not sharing enough files for someone to not classify me as a freeloader...what exactly happens? Do their files not show up on my searches? Do they show up but if I try to download them it automatically rejects me, giving me a "need more sources", or what?
