Traders must die!!!

What is this with winmx?! Why this is only p2p network and app which alows such nonsense?! :devil2
I'm mostly away from my pc and I can't help it. When I get home, there's always a couple of hundred messages containing this information in average - ''TRADE?''
Ok, I know winmx is somewhat special with this kind of ''feature'', but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Winmx is not a file sharing app, it's some sort of arabian marketplace.
You have to be always around your pc and respond very quickly if a message comes in, otherwise you will loose that user, coz he'll ignore you, coz he thinks - ''if that man is downloading from me, he owes me favour, so he must start my transfer''.
That's complete bullshit! There must be a way to ban from servers and winmx network those fukin muthafukas who disconnects you, because you didn't start their fukin transfer. :shoot
I don't understand, do I owe them just because I have waited in his queue for 5 days and now, when that precious download finaly starts he disconnects me, because he thinks I have to offer him something for trade. :green5
In DC++ hub owners (bots rather) usually ban users who intentionaly disconnect other users and that's the right thing to do with such shitheads :black
When does it stop??!!
Will this function be revisited and hopefully removed?
I'm having this rant, because I really like opennap network in which you can find really rare file no other network contains, otherwisely I wouldn't bother.

pah... 5 days?! I don't wait five days for anything...i don't even wait one. Screw that. What's the point.

Every program has that problem. It's not the program at blame-It's the assholes using the program. Let's be perfectly clear where to place the blame-there's always going to be assholes. No programmer in the world is going to completely beat the asshole factor. Thankfully they are a minority-most people are willing to accomodate.

WinMX is huge on trading. I ran it for an hour and had several anoying people continusly ask for a trade.
I share 80gb of quality stuff, I told the user to brows my files, again, he/she asked me to trade, then I ranted onto him how bad trading was to the WinMX network, wich it is!

perhaps if you ran something like protowall..you could add that users ip to the blocklist.p2p
and they probably wont be visable on winmx or any other p2p app for quite awhile...:love

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

Trading is a sensible and productive way for hardcore filesharers to use winMX.

When i used winMX i always traded. Why should i let some idiot with a few eminem mp3's to the front of my Q, when someone with rare files i really want goes to the back?

If you are sick of traders not letting you download, heres a tip: get some decent files yourself that people might actually want, then you can find similar people to trade with and always get to the front of the Q.

[Unsueable Davey Brown]

I have a question.

If you're trading something not in your shared folder, are you breaking the law?

I don't understand the details of this. I mean there's the fair use thing, then I believe you can sell something if you own it, so can't you also trade it, or does the fact that you continue to own the original make it illegal?

Of course i can ban the user, no ip blocking needed, just put him ito ignored list, taht? all.
My point was, that they should ban those fukers from the whole network, because it's no good to behave that way on p2p network.
And to Miniver. Ok, I exaggerated about these 5 days, but not too much. As I said, I use winmx to get those rare files which only one or two usres in whole world have so it's normal that I'm so suspiciously patient sometimes.

[begoodbebad]

Ban everyone. Everywhere. Always. Traders, leeches, uploaders, downloaders, freeloaders, broadcasters, postmen (sorry shawners), the paper boy, UPS, Fed-Ex...Ban them all, no exceptions.

I have oh so many rare files (music videos specially) and that is the main reason why all these traders come to me with proposals. I'm thinking now, maybe it's better to share some crappy eminem mp3 so noone wil bother me about trading.
And as I said, I can't attend my pc which runs 24/7 all day, so there'll always be a hundreds of messages, that I didn't reply. And why should I, really?

I'll trade you three of your eminems for 5 of my britneys

thanks begoodbebad, you were very helpfull :shoot

[phuquit]

The ones that really piss me off are the "can you start me?" brigade. When that comes up I ask them what makes them so special that they don't have to queue like everyone else. So far I have not recieved an answer. But forget them, the ones that really really piss me off are the ones who ask to be started and it turns out are leeches when you do a browse. I had someone hassle me for a start who had zero files shared and when I asked "Are you serious?" His reply was a very innocent seeming "Yes, why?"

[shawners]

Awww begoodbebad, you sold me out like that.. Oh man. it was like that way back on mIRC. They want a file but will send this file and offer this one for that. Instead of just letting people send it out. IT may been good back then, to insure people to get more files rather then downloading and leaving. But there is so many sources and so much stuff out there. That trading is essentially obsolete. I mean, does anyone have that one file that you couldnt absolutely get from someone else? You know what i would do. I would say i like to make a trade.. make the trade for that file. .PUT IT in your shared folder and tell them.. HEY, IM SHARINg the file we traded for, since your too much of an ass to give it out.. AND JUST STay in that channel offering that file or what not. =)

[Ticalrida]

the problem is the queues if u trade u get to dl a file
