WHY DOES LIMEWIRE ALLOW NON SHARERS TO LOG IN THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO CONNECT IF THEY DON'T SHARE ANY ONE ELSE AGREE WITH ME.THEY SHOUYLD ONLY ALLOW PPL TO ADJUST THEIR UPLOAD SLOTS

Yes, everybody would like to see that all users shared their files, but you can not make somebody to share compulsively. Think of all the people that choose Limewire as their first p2p application. They may not have any files to share, but they shouldn't be banned for that. What could be done is to have one upload slot as minimum, but then everybody would start to move their files to another folder.

I agree they should share.... but if they don't have files when they first start out give them a bit of time then get ride of them if they aren't sharing.... and at this point what is there to share people upload from me at about 10 kb a sec!!! that is not why I got cable speeds!!!

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA I'LL TRY TO SEND THAT IDEA ON,AND ABOUT THE 10K THING TRY GIVE A LARGER BANDWITH TO THOSE WHO UPLOAD...

my upload is at full I will allow pretty much as much bandwidth that is available.... (my preference is set to the highest setting)

PLEASE DONT SHOUT!!!!

seems to me like you're a glass is half full kinda guy

the should make something simliar to leechammer for winmx, but for gnutella.

Actually, I hate when people won't let me download files because I'm not meeting some arbitrary file number criteria. I might only be sharing 41 files, but it's 17 gigabytes worth of data.

Many of us want to share but are behind NAT's, and waiting while the developers are trying to work around this problem. I've read of so many people who are working hard to get around the troubles sharing: For now I welcome the leechers who then make those files available within their horizons. Freeloaders, leechers and lurkers eventually evolve into sharers, helpers and developers--or the community becomes extinct, irrelevant or costly.
