<< I already have KaZaA working properly with no spyware, so I will not waste my time and bandwidth downloading KaZaA lite or whatever.
However I will make a comment in regards to "leechers". Has it ever occured to you that there are a gazillion dialup users that can't spare 3K of their upload? That's ALL their upload, and when they're uploading, they can't do jack sh*t. So why would they stay there, connected, hogging their phone line, to send you, someone meaningless and unimportant to them, some pr0n movie or pirated software? 😉
If however you are on a 5mbps down / 5mbps up cable connection - you have no excuse. If uploading doesn't severely cripple your performance, then you have no excuse. But the majority of standard cable and DSL users have 64-192kbps upload caps. When I upload something, downloads come to a crawl. In other words, my connection is rendered useless. >>
why should i (the broadband user) stay there to send the 56kers, someone meaningless and unimportant to me, some pr0n movie or pirated software? this argument can go both ways. this is a disadvantage of dialup, if it sucks to have a 3k upload, so be it, you get what you pay for.
but anyways, we can spare the 56kers, they can leech all they want, just because i feel sorry for them🙂
but 1/4th of the upload bandwidth for broadband users doesnt hinder your download performance that much.
