Just to add my 2 cents worth here in response to LOTR question. I do not believe you will be band by many users in relative #s. There may be a few non thinking people that will ban dial-up users but I would like to believe that most users have the ability to think.

I to have people Qing me up constantly and I share at 40KB/s allot of people probably think I am a Freeloader because they can never get anything from me. But I do know that my share ratio is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 to 1, and that is probably way under what it actually is. Unfortunately with limewire there is no way to tell. But with Azures my share ratio is 40 to 1 and I have Azures on allot less time than I have LimeWire on.

I set my setup as follows minimum # of files a person must share 1 (We all had to start somewhere) Allow freeloaders Always. You see I know that at one time I had nothing to share and I was also on dial-up at one time and people on dial-up really can not share very well when DLing (and I do not believe they should have to) There are plenty of us who are fortunate enough to have faster connections.

There are enough people who share I have heard different stats about freeloaders but really do not know or care what percentage of freeloaders there are. With that said I do not agree with freeloading but I will not worry about it. Freeloader suck but the world need all kinds =. It would really suck if we were all the same.
