Question Setting Upload Limits Does Not Work!

Setting my upload limit for sharing has never worked. I have tried different limits (8,4,6,3) over a couple of years, so one uploader cannot choke my sharing with all LW users with a whack of requests. The 'upload limit reached' appears, and the uploader can keep adding upload requests, which are either successful or queued. In the spirit of LWire, I always have 'chat' on, so users can browse my shared folder, and pick a FEW. Leaving LW on for 6-12 hours is typical for me, and I can't monitor it all the time. For a long time added 'abusers' to the Filter 'host' blacklist, but with a very long list of uploads, and quite a few abusers every time am on, have given up using 'host' block; its a pain. As a matter of p2p principle, users should use 'chat' smiley, but a majority do not. For the moment, going to stick with 'chat', IF I can get a solution or explanation from monitors or members WHY DON'T UPLOAD LIMITS WORK? Does someone have a configuration where it does work? Answers please. caseybob
