I've noticed a lot of people downloading from me with a participation level of 0. Would I be within my rights to cancel downloads from these people as, in my opinion, they are contradicting the whole file sharing purpose.

I only have 128-bit broadband at the moment but I never mind sharing at least half my bandwidth for uploads, unless I really need something important and quick (e.g. a piece of software i might need for uni) but when i see people leeching like this it does make me angry.

What's your opinion ppl, and is there a way to block such transfers?

Don't do a thing! Don't worry! Forget about it! A reason they have 0 pl could be that they have a different version of Kazaa than you (which is high) or that they download more than they upload. The PL system of Kazaa sucks so just don't worry about it.

I say you shouldn't try too hard to block leechers. You'll be stressed out trying to, but you could always do it once in awhile for fun. Kazap in k++ does not have cancel on pl since people can abuse it, leechers. If you want, go to kazap main page and download the full one.

i'm getting slow again... :P

Well how about this, one guy who is currently dowloading dog soldiers from me, has a participation level of 0 and is sharing the sum total of 4 files - Run Lola Run (movie), Global Operations (game), DivX Codec bunde and a windows media component setup application (whatever that is).

Is this a leecher or is this a leecher??

Not a leecher as long as he has people in his upload slots and that you can't be sure of. But then, he could be a new user and could be using a different version which makes it seem as if his PL is 0.

He probably uses older version of KaZaA (Lite). He isn't a leecher.
P.S. Shinigami actually first answered your question. :)
