Exclamation Upload Theft

Please help.

Everytime I download, I get a massive problem. My uploads match it. Even though I have turned all access to people sharing my files off. I know that this is frowned upon, but I only have a certain amount of memory available to me. It works out that if i download 5mb, then 5mb has been uploaded from me. thats double than what iv asked for,, so in effect im only getting half my moneys worth from the inernet provider. i have followed the below technote to no avail. Can somebody please help?
