when you say log-off do you mean shut off your computer or log-off from the network... I personally hate it when people cut me off but I understand that most people need to every so often... I mean if I need to reboot my comp I really don't care who's d/l'ing what... my computer needs a reboot but by the same token as long as my comp is on then so is Gnutella... I don't ever leave the network unless someone is using my FTP and I need the U/L bandwidth... I think it all boils down to the old "do unto others... blah blah blah.." if you hate it when your d/l is clipped by others then don't do it yourself... if you don't mind it then...
