To the power's that be......please educate new and unfamilar users of the protocol of file sharing.

I find many users who make repeated requested for multiple (20+) files at one time. Then they do this over and over again causing me (the one with the files they want) to lose ports, lose hosts and finally network stall.

After they find something, like a 50 MEG FILE, we find them connected at 28.8 on a modem with 0 transfer. This of course is because they are already downloading 8 other files from other file people (us).

I believe all my switches are set properly to eliminate greedy, ttls too far, and repeated requests. The only thing I can do is bump them off, add their url to the "filters" option, THEN Limeware must be disconnected and closed, then restarted.

Any suggestions?
