download or upload????

[Foolindream]

First.. sorry for my bad english... this is my little story, i would appreciate some reactions.

My laptop is win NT, Pentium III and have a broadband high-speed connection.

Used to "work" with Kazaa and Audio Galaxy, but had some problems with nasty and annoying spy-ware .. i threw all the stuff away (snifff).... the highest down speed i could get was 13K (audio galaxy).


So, last week-end... I found Xolox... setup... no spyware indeed... yesssssss!!!!

But... there is a but!!! (i have also the "DU meter" , to check my internet traffic.

Although I don't mind to share files... i was quite surprised to see the traffic going on..
in less then 5 days i UPLOADED (not shared) a little more then l1GB... thats acting as a server!... little reminder : my laptop is only connected between 23H and 6.00 AM. thats an average of 3OK/sec !!! - and with DU-meter, i saw that there was a lot of traffic but not on my harddisk (download/share)

Okay.. i've got broadband and huge speed, i can still browse and so on while using Xolox.... but....

My ISP (the rules).... max 1,5 GB upload on a 30days base (10GB download) - "sliding window - 30 days/ calculation"... otherwise they cut me off.

Now i'm sitting here... with 1GB upload after 5 days... and I didn't share that much (I had only 1 file in my 'shared')...

Isn't there a way (later upgrade).. to switch off the 'server mode' but still sharing files?... or to set 'limitations' in 'server volume'?

This night, I 'uploaded' :344MB and i had no files in my 'share'.. i only got 1 download at 7am this morning (reached 40K/s)...

I think.... i'll wipe out Xolox... and install it again.. with 'no server' option.. or is there another way to switch off 'server mode'?

Thanks... greetings.... and KEEP ON SHARING!!!!
