Banned Greedy Servant

Anyone want to tell me why my upload page has alot of these statuses? I can't seem to download the file I want either. Been stuck on 80% for 4 weeks. UGHH !!

I just don't get it. I leave my limewire on almost 24/7. Free and open to share for anyone. I better not be the banned greedy servant !

lol hahaha ... don't be worried. That represents other p2p share clients. I know little about them but others on the forum know which ones they are. I've never come across them. I believe it has something to do with clients that keep repeatedly making requests to upld from you. These clients are either very old versions or are some of the Gnutella community outsiders who aren't very welcome due to their behaviour. Such behaviour unnecessarily increases traffic on the network. If there were or are too many of them then the network would slow to a crawl. I'm not sure how to deal with them. I think some people ban them. I think you need to right-click (mac users Control click) the user to bring up such an option. What you do is up to you. I think the message you see is as a result of how many times they've been banging on your door so to speak. If you search the forum for the words banned greedy servant then you can probably find out more. Perhaps you can tell me.

Actually I just did a quick search & found these results HERE & here's 2 examples:
