1.) How do you know they all have files shared?
2.) It is freeloading off of those people that are blocked from downloading but not uploading.

| what about the people who freeload off of us by selling us ads using our own computer time? |
If they "sold" you something then you got something in return. Besides, look at the top of your screen. Nice banner ad huh? Maybe you shouldn't even be here considering your argument.
Nope.

| did they give you computer time or money back in return? |
No, they gave me software.

| no the software isn't payback when you can get it for free elsewhere. |
You do not get them same software for free elsewhere, unless of course you're stealing it. You can get different software that performs similar functions which may or may not suit your tastes.

I'm willing to bet that at least some of them are.
Educated guess... and I download from them.

| all I got so far is file sucking like mad since they came on you think these people never saw a avi or mpeg file in their life. all I get back from them is old dusty mp3 files that are everywhere already. |
Did you ever use the old Morpheus? You could find tons of avi and mpeg files there. Do you really think that those just disappeared?

| who says you can't get a file from this new network? |
What new network? This isn't a new network, it is a client seeking to do damage to the existing network for its own gain.

| did you read the source code? all I see is modified connect strings and those aint used to down/upload, heck you can use a browser it dont use those connect strings. |
Didn't need to read the source code, the guy who made this already admitted to one way blocking.
Quote:
| and who says they are freeloading if they download from open source clients? |
Whether or not the client side applications are open source has no bearing on freeloading from the network.
Quote:
| dont users have a choice? |
Users absolutely have a choice. They have the right to choose whichever client they like (even if it is bs or lw) and they shouldn't be punished for it.
The only people that need "punishing" are those actively trying to damage the network.
So I say, get out. You want your own network then put some effort into making it. Don't just sit here and leech off people because their politics don't match your own.
