Default Abusive users switch?????

Is there a switch in Limeware to limit or eliminate abuse users. You know the ones. Those who repeatedly, over and over again, request an upload, request multiple files at once. Then they do this over and over again.

When the do connect their using a modem with 28.8 kbps that has long since stalled, because they're trying to download 20 files. Then they don't even off any real file sharing. Who could wait.

The repeated requests will kill or slowly stall your connection and you'll lose you host and number files. Then the bandswidth goes crazy from these lurkers, and so do I.

I've added their address to my "filters" option, but this doesn't eliminate then from your files. This doesn't happen until Limeware is restarted. Not only disconnected, restarted, But it eventually works. I've turned the switches on for "repeated requests", "greedy requests", etc. This has no effect.

Please help. And spread the word to these bothersome browsers about the ediquette of browsing. Only one file at a time. And don't be such a pig.
