The freeloader settings in the newest version, 4.0, do not work?

I am using an older version; sorry don't have it in front of me, but will guess 3.5.8 or something like that.

After perusing this thread, I decided last night to disallow freeloaders. If they are discouraged, soon they will learn they HAVE to share, and that is tough love.

Last night I set my freeloaders so they had to share 100 files. Nothing. So I set it to 50. Nothing. 35. Nothing. At 20, I finally started getting uploads.

While I realize they may be sharing monster-sized programs, they may only be sharing 20 mp3s. I upped it this morning back to 35, but am tempted to clear all files and set it to 50 for 24 hours just to see how many can get in. I share 428 files at the moment, anc could add more, but some of mine are older and may not be as popular. I don't think a setting of 50 is unreasonable, I think someone sharing only 20 files ...

Anyway, the freeloaders settings definitely still work in my version.
