Participation Level Dropping For No Reason

Hi everyone.

I have a rather restrictive ISP. So with a soorely limited usage limited I dont share much, or at least didnt. So when they Sent out an E-mail saying that in order to gauge wether or not Unlimited downloads were feasable, No Downlaods would be clocked over the weekend, I went on a P2P spree :D

By the end of the weekend I had attained the rank of Deity.

Now its official and i have a lovely Generous Plan and I can practically Download (And Upload) all I want.

So Im sharring Files. I'm only Allowing two connections at a time because Im still not sure just how much I'll be uploading.
Still getting used to it :)
So anywy I got to the rank of about eighty.

Then I noticed for some reason It just took a dive to about Sixty for some reason. Then I check back later and It hits fourty, Then twenty.
The only possibly related factor is that I had cleared the uploads section.
But surely that shouldnt affect my Participation level.

Can anyone tell me what Might be going on here?

Do I need to be getting a Constant Influx of files that people upload from me? Not juat the same stale old ones to keep the rank and increase?

Im guessing your using KMD because K-lite lets you keep a 1000 PL.

But the more you upload the higher your PL will go, and the more you download, it will go down.

No I am using Klite.

Its just that A lot of users out there Cancel people who Have 1000pl Because you can set it but not share any files.
So they just assume and cancel, and some filter Guru's out altogether.

I see more non-sharers with 1000pl than with nil.

You cant tell if people are sharing or not. Most people that use k-lite have the 1000 PL, and they turn on the privacy patch which makes it so people cant see the files they are sharing.

Yet people can still upload files from them?

He ment that you can't get a full list of my files. I.e you download from me, right-click find more from same user. In KMD you will get a full list of my files. In K-Lite with this option enabled you won't see anything.
You still download from us, our files appire in search if match the createria.

i have a pl of 1000 and share more than 90% of the fuckers on kazaa, ive never heard of idiots cancling people because they have a pl of 1000 thats just stupid.

Only noobs would do this, and who cares cause they only have shit files anyway.
