sebkarlsson--you owe Ursula and murasame an apology. Your claim they haven't helped is grossly unfounded. Ursula uploads ~4 GB /day and has helped thousands more in this and other forums. You sir, are ignorant.

If you have any credibility in other forums and posted a some kind of rationalization of leechers, please advise which forums. No wonder so many ISP's and network managers are trying to kill p2p because of irresponsible leechers.

gnutella was severly rocked for almost six months by greedy clients. Compare the numbers for Jan 2003 with today. The graph no longer shows the highs of 500,000 users in the previous year. Currently, the network has slowly recovered, but at the cost of giving up the very desired automatic researching. Now connections from clients who will not upload to the network are being rightly refused. If this has hurt your p2p experience, good. Go away. If you are a legitimate uploader who would like help from the VOLUNTEERS here with specific problems, post your specifics.

As for donating--LW allows anyone to compile their own client--for FREE. I can use several, but continue to 'pay' for Pro every six months--as a donation to this ongoing project.

Gad--the righteous confidence of selfish ignorance.

There. I needed that. /end rant. Carry on.
