What do you do on P2P proggies when users aren't sharing?

[djheater]

I'm starting to get a little irritated.... These guys aren't sharing anything.... Maybe the transition from Morpheus to Kazaa has confused them as to what they are sharing....?

I hate leeches. I usually cancel the uploads.

 

[Nocturnal]

if you hate leeches, then what exactly are you doing? lol hypocrite.

Well, it's more like vengeance. If you see someone isn't sharing, maybe they'll get the picture that they get what they give

 

[CraigRT]

yeah it sucks.. that's why i use Direct Connect. you have to be sharing a certain amount of data to get into the good hubs, and you have to have a certain amount of open slots! which means if you want a good pick, you gotta share... DC owns.

They should purposely slow down the people who dont share. Thats should teach them!

I -don't- share, and for good reason. There is quite a bit of legal difference between being in posession of stolen materials and the act of theft itself.

So there!

Have a heart, guys. Some of us can't. My cable company only allows 1 gig of transfer per month... 🙁 Lucky for me they don't enforce that... but they would if I was to draw attention to myself.

Not everyone has an unlimited account.

Alright fine you have a cap...

I IM people and ask them what they are sharing... when they don't answer..... and no one ever has, I cut them off.

Nocturnal, don't bandy about insults if you don't understand them. A leech is a parasite that steals blood from a living host and gives nothing back. Exactly what we are talking about so no hypocrisy.

P2P'ing is more akin to being intestinal flora, I think.

I love leeching. I usually go to the newsgroups for what I need or I ask friends.
