Exactly what part of the freeloader filter doesn't work? Is this only the 'Allow freeloaders' setting? What about the 'Files you must share to Not be a Freeloader' setting? The latter seems to work for me. I noticed a considerable difference between when I upped the minimum from about 5 to 10 & then to 20, 25, 30 & then to 50 over the past 4 mths I've been using LW 4. Also a difference in the files that were being requested.

I'll keep mine set where they have to share in order to receive. I think, in the long-term, that promotes the healthiest network.

It's up to everybody's opinion, but I'd agree with sonnet here. I previously used another p2p app where people would 'pull' their files as soon as people started dwnlding from them & I knew somebody who did that using kazaa. I think it's just those miserly attitudes that make me feel they should be genuine sharers. Although it'd be hard to combat the latter example. I have no comments about anything else in this thread!
