Wow, I've never run as a UP so I'm probably not the best one to answer this. When you run as a UP people will connect thru you. So some of those files you see are just travelling via you.

Having more than one person uploading the same file or even the same person is not a major issue. I've seen that also. I do have more than one copy of some of my shared files. Particularly from my LW downld folder & iTunes.

Upload limit ... sounds as though the 2 may have been jostling for an upload position & one of them won over. After all you have a set no. of upload slots right?!

It would be healthy for uploaders to be able to have an easy access. I think the False report for incoming shows that only those that push thru your firewall are the ones succeeding.

I'll see if I can get another member to give you some advice.

Banned Greedy Servant refers to leech p2p apps that take but don't give back. They also push other p2p apps out of queues in an aggressive manner. I've witnessed it myself & despite cancelling them ... sure enough they've forced their way to the top of the queue. The other issue is they may send out many queries & requeries which bogs down the traffic on the gnutella network. ie: slows it down for everybody. The sooner we get rid of them the better for everyone.
