I must admit as a dial-up user i simply can't afford the bandwidth to allow browsing on my system. It simply seems slows down everything. And yes I offer a large no. of files. That's the sacrifice that dialup users (& probably a high % of them) hav to make. Since on dialup there is no differentiation of upld/dwld (or least certainly not offered locally.) So keep in mind to allow browsing actually uses up bandwidth (with all the continual searches, etc.) I'm purely speaking from a dialup point of view, but there's still plenty of us out there.
