My personal problems with downloading/uploading I have to confess, I've cancelled uploads of files.
But they were currently being downloaded!!
I've tried fixing this problem by simply "unsharing" files that I'm currently downloading - but you can't "unshare" files that aren't being "shared" in the first place!!
My library shows that the same file is unable to be shared since it is incomplete - so, please, explain how this same file is able to be found and then uploaded?!
It's frustrating enough when waiting to finish a big file (think video) and having to wait DAYS in order to get a decent download stream...and just when you've finally found the rest of the file, someone (or very often, several someones) start uploading the same file you're presently downloading!
I don't mind sharing, in fact I love sharing my favorites!
It's just that I don't understand how this is beneficial to anyone - how can someone be expected to "share" a file that isn't even completed?
I'm starting to wonder if this isn't just a problem I've been experiencing...would definitely explain why so many of my files seem to "stall" after partial download...maybe I'm just downloading incomplete files from others that are still searching for the completed files, also!?
Has anyone found a way to fix this problem? LOL
Kinda funny, trying to fix something that technically shouldn't exist!
I mean, why bother to "share" or "unshare" if the file can still be found and uploaded? |
