flyhigh,
You really should share some files with the network that you've downloaded from. This is a file sharing community and if no one shared then there wouldn't be anyone to download from.
So may I suggest you go back and set your upload slots to 7 and then go to Tools>Options>Uploads>Basic, and set the bandwidth slider to about 35KB/s then click apply. That way you'll still be sharing but not so much that it slows down your internet connection. You can adjust it to suit your needs but that should be a good starting place
.
Not sharing at all makes you a freeloader/leach. An ugly label that we try to avoid :wink:.
