If you are serious I hope you get blocked by every one you want to freeload off. If your tounge is in you cheek, have a nice day.

As I was saying about sharing my files, I have to copy some files from my friends so that I can put them into the "shared" folder. Now I am sharing about 16 files (which I copied from my friends) but the download is still just as bad. No improvement. Help me?!

I likewise kill downloads from IP addresses that don't share.

This is the thread that anyone you thinks they shoud block host all "freeloaders" should read.

How do you know if someone is a freeloader? I've been told that sometimes a person cannot be browsed because of possible firewalls.

you don't .... You are right

Hey That plant of yours is doing my head in. I can look at it for hours wierd

I wish I could grow them to be large enough to gobble up people. There are some people on another message board that I would love to see get digested alive by one of these plants. Tee Hee! Sorry if what I said was unacceptable but if you were to see how these people behave you would understand why I feel the way I do about them.

i agree with you completely, but what do you think about those that limit the upload speed to maximise their download speed on a slow 56K dial-up internet connection?

do you know if increasing the upload speed can increase the download speed? from what i have read of limwire, in theory it does, but have u seen practical proof of this?

Dial up is the exception to the rule. Since upld & downld use the same bandwidth, you need to balance the 2. Even if it's very low, people are still often able to get acceptable results from dial up users when there's multiple users with the same file so they get a bit from each of them.
