Caps are a pita. And that's why I haven't upgraded to dsl2. In this country you can't get unlimited dsl2 unless you buy a business package ... but even then that's not unlimited either. My shares vary depending upon whether my external drive is connected. My entire iTunes Library is now on there. It's not a reliable drive (had lots of problems with it) so I don't have it connected 24/7. But even then I only share a portion of it. Earlier in the year I was sharing around 5,000 & it got up to 7,000 (which included extra downlds & personal rips.) But unfortunately mac's Java version is very inefficient & sharing that many files gave VM issues (LW crashing after a few days.) I now keep my shares not much above 2,000. Without the external connected, I share about 100 (mostly video clips.) I also share other file types. And for music also some lossless.
At this moment I have 10 people all queued for the same file. 6 are Cabos 4.8.1 & 4.9.30 (including uplding), one is Acquisition 4.8.0, & the rest are LW 4.9.23 (1) & 37. All have reasonably different ip's. An ip tracer was successful with almost but not all. Here's where they're from: Huang Shan, Anhui, China; Tokyo, Japan; Kailua, Hawaii; Melbourne, Australia; Bangalore, India; Seoul, Sth Korea.
Upon rechecking just before posting, a couple of new ones on the list. Both from Melbourne LW 4.9.19, & Cabos 4.9.28
So I don't think a theory suggested earlier seems to fit with these ones. I don't have my external connected at this moment, but, even when it is I often get the same type of results. It's been that way for most of the year since before I moved my music off the comp (which I only did a mth ago.)
