Guys,

I have just begun using kazaa lite and make sure all my files are shareable nut I read that some people won't allow you to download if you don't share. What my query is about is that sometimes people download stuff from me and their participation is "low(0)". Does this mean they don't share? If so, how do i stop them like everyone else does. Please advise me if I have my info wrong too.

Thanks peeps,

Don't go down to their level and become a leech yourself.

Just share.

From the FAQ

How does the Participation Level work?

Kazaa and Kazaa Lite version 2 have a Participation Level feature.

If you have a high Participation Level, you will get priority over people with a lower Participation Level when you download files. This only applies if you download from someone that also uses v2. If you download from someone with an old version, there will be no difference in priority, it will just be first come first serve.

Facts:

- You can increase your Participation Level by uploading files.
- When you download files, your Participation Level will go down.
- The higher you Participation Level is, the more difficult it is to maintain that value. This means the ratio of bytes uploaded/downloaded must be higher to maintain your level.
- Old versions automaticly get a Participation Level value of Low (0). This value cannot be changed.
- Our K++ Editions will give you the highest possible Participation Level.

'0' Participation Level does not mean they are Leechers.

They either have an Older Version of Kazaa/K-lite or a different client program.


You cannot tell who leeches off you and who doesnt (especially with the privacy patch)........so dont worry about it, you'll get high blood pressure.
