Ok so I was on kazaa today sharing and some guy starts downloading a pretty rare file off me (one that took me hours to get that I had to arrange to get off someones FTP) and he downloads off me at 30kb/s. (would have taken him few hours no effort)
He wasn't sharing...
--------
myusername@KaZaA:
Ok well if your not even gonna give me a reason to why you're not sharing you're not having the episode of me
--------
mauricio@KaZaA:
(he replied with a blank)
--------
myusername@KaZaA:
Ok well I have unshared it, if you want the episode (and my others) then either share or at least tell me why you're not sharing
--------
mauricio@KaZaA:
I am not sharing...cuz I dont want to... that simple my friend...
--------
myusername@KaZaA:
Well this is even more simple F*CK OFF AND DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO DOWNLOAD OFF ME IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOUR CONNECTION, YOU'RE JUST BEING A TIGHT B*STARD AND I SHALL WARN OTHERS OF YOU!
--------
mauricio@KaZaA:
whatever!

(Wish I'd have got his IP)

The only people I'd give any slack to would be 56K dialup users downloading an MP3. Back when I was handicapped with 56K, I used to download certain files I wanted. And then, when I was done, I'd open up sharing so people uploading from me could get the best speed I could give them (and just leave my computer on until the ISP logged me off). But, there isn't much of an excuse for broadband users not sharing.
-
The example person was on broadband, he's not sharing, and he's an asshole.
That's 3 good reasons to kick him off.
I use TCPview + Peer Guardian to actuall ban-by-ip for a few hours the leeches I spot.
Also, I allow more than 1 upload at a time (typically set to 5) because I don't want most of it to go idle and so a single leech SHOULDN'T be able to get >50% of my bandwidth.
-
We need to start making lists of IPs that we could post here on the board. It would get to be a good deterent. It might make people think twice about sharing if they knew they could be added to the list. If a lot of us would block them with peerguardian then they wouldn't get sources. 56k users would not be affected, their IPs change with each logon. I still think 56k users should share. Broadband users should not have a choice.

i dont share....main reason is because i play multiplayer games, and the uploading files would give me about 300ping compared to my 30-50 average. Im to lazy to keep turning it off and on through menu options, if there was say a button in the toolbar that enabled it and disabled it i might possibly change my ways when not play online games.
-
it isnt hard to close it you know, you right click on the icon in taskbar and then hit exit :rtfm:
-
some people dont upload because the isp does not allow it because there gay because without sharing what would p2p be
-
Anyone not sharing and allowing uploading should not download. Period.
@Headbust, If you are that lazy then why don't you just leave Kazaalite off or uninstall it.

Hey,
They just need to disable sharing in kazaa disabled!!!
If you dont want much to upload, you can still adjust your upload speed to 1 kb/sec.
