I share nothing for 3 reasons:
1) Got a nasty little e-mail from my ISP telling me what I had downloaded and when and they told me to stop. I have too much to lose to be investigated.
2) The program was totally fucking with my broadband connection. I kept losing my input signal and the cable company and I got into a rather lengthy relationship of housecalls and phone conversations.
When they finally did a 48 hour audit of my cable, they found that my computer was being hammered by people wanting files. They asked me to stop sharing files and for 1 year, my computer has never lost signal. That opposed to 8-10 times a day, before.
3) Ever see that bluscreeen which ends
Beginning dump of physical data..................
That stopped showing up as well. Although no data was ever lost that I could tell, seeing the screen was a wee bit scary.
You share plenty, it just doesn't happen to be computer files.
