LOTR said ..."That's what I was suggesting. That these/this person has selected lots of your shared files simultaneously (such as using the SHIFT key) to downld. What you see in the monitor window is them downlding the hashtree somewhat quickly.

I'm pretty sure it was not that... No it was definitely 5 files being D/ld simultaneously, and I watched for some time. I then checked my preferences and they were set do 1 upload per person and I came back and the downloading was continuing. The uploading of the hash tree (which I must admit I thought was some pot smoker's song being uploaded the first time I saw it ) only takes a short time and is labeled as such in the monitor window.

This only happened to me once and I had totally forgotten about it until now.

btw "And I don't think we have really answered his question "Does anyone know how they do this?"" was originally my comment .. and while the Hash tree might be a possiblity, I like Marc remain curious. It looks as if he's pinched my sig, but I don't think he meant to
