Who's sharing & who's leeching?

[RACKnRAIL]

I was wondering if there was a way to tell if Kazaa lite users are sharing. I am finding less and less people's shared folders are available to browse, since the addition of that feature in K++. I use to cut off leechers, but I now can't tell who's sharing and who's leeching. I don't mind sharing with others that share, but I would cut off anyone who isn't. Is there any means or software that can tell or do I just have to trust that everyone that uploads from me is sharing nowadays?

u could try using a different client if you dont want to give files to leeches. Try winmx and leechhammer. Personaliy i dont bother with kazaa/kazaa lite ne more

ps. is your avatar a snooker queue on fire or a cigerrete

I don't waste any time worrying about what anybody else is doing.

whoa.......back off!
put it this way.........if u live in the US........ur probably leeching, if not, then ur probably sharing.
end of story.
for the time being.
i think we all understand that, eh?

note*......no offense to US citizens.......hence that we all understand!

[rainbowdemon]

put it this way.........if u live in the US........ur probably leeching, Well, I live in the U.S. and I'm still sharing. I don't intend to stop. I just don't see the point in worrying about what everybody else is doing. Connection speed has nothing to do with this. I have built a good library because others share. So I do too. And American or Canadian or whatever, it makes no difference to me!!!:fire :fire

I also live in U.S. and share 30 gigs of music. I have no intention of stopping. Nothing short of a seize and desist order is going to change that.

I as of today became a leecher since my ISP broadband gave me my last warning. I fought it through as far as I can, and I cannot go anymore and share. I don't want to lose my fast internet

I live in the US as well. I share about 20 gigs, and wont stop until I get subpeonad.

That's called "swapping". These are not "file swapping" networks.

Are people still harping on about leechers even with all the more important problems going on? Unbelievable.

Except that my main hard drive only holds 13.9 GB max, I'm right there with you. Born in the USA ZP File Sharing Soldier, right here, baby--Metallica and the RIAA can blow me! I use KaZaa Lite exclusively, and I don't know what all the whining about fake files and viruses is about. Then again I rarely DL apps or exe.files, and downloading top 40 is on the list right after chewing my arm off. I just share--what ever anyone else does is their business, though I don't see the point of leechers posting at ZP, a file-SHARING portal.

This is my daily ritual. I fire up the emachine, open KZ-Lite and MY Shared Folder, let it run through my partials, then search and que up a dozen tunes, then walk away. I come back sometime later, and if my 56K connection has not puked out, I'll do another search, fix the shitty file names in MSF, and skim through the uploads to see what strange shit people grabbed outta my collection. Sometimes I have to kickstart the connection, dial-up the ISP, and sometimes I have to shut the whole thing off and restart, because between Winamp and KaZaa there's no memory left, but no bfd; in 5 I'm back on it again.

Another day in the life of another American File Sharing Soldier.

Sometimes I have to kickstart the connection, dial-up the ISP I'm on dial-up too. I just set up my downloads and go do something else. I run Windows 2000 Pro. I don't know if this is a Windows feature, or a feature of my isp. But I don't have the problem you mention.

Swapping, sharing, call it what you want, but without it, you'd be downloading shit! The only thing unbelievable are the leechers that keeps sucking up bandwidth without giving anything back to the p2p community.
