ALOT of those low participation numbers are 0 because they are simply using an older version of the software.  Kazaa lite sets their rating at 0 by default... it can't change until they upgrade. 

hi there !
as we all know ,there are thousands of new users everyday, who automatically
start off on zero. i give them the benefit of the doubt and let them upload from me.

The rating system should remain there for normal kazaa users so they DO share. Who cares about them anyway they are on the "darkside" so just let them have low levels as long as i can get there files.

HAHA
Too Right.

I think they all all range around 15000.

Actually, the Kazaa PL number also varies according to the day of the week.

The max number you can reach is 22,100. [/b][/quote]
It varies between 9500 and 19210.

Did this change?
I could have sworn that it went higher at one time.

Not that it really matters....

we are just greedy bastards man, the rating system encourages people to share files so we have more files to download. but with kazza lite we are like "ha ha fuck you n00bs with kmd.

About my only beef with what Kazaa Lite++ does to the PL system is it gives you a PL over 1,000 even if you disable sharing -- so if you&#39;re using Kazaa Lite++ there&#39;s really NO incentive to share.

One Kazaa Lite++ varient took out sharing off checkbox, but if turning off sharing dropped the PL to 0 (or even 100 instead of 1,000+) it wouldn&#39;t be so bad.

In order to detect leechers you&#39;d have to write an intelligent program. That&#39;s very difficult. Many people have tried and all have failed.

Doing what you suggest, giving people PL=0 if they don&#39;t share doesn&#39;t solve anything. The leechers will add dummy files to their shared folder. So anything we&#39;d do, the leechers can undo. Thus we would&#39;ve wasted our time when we could&#39;ve done something else instead.
