Mano' the world is right about killing uploads. You used to be able to block hosts by right clicking on a file in the monitor/upload window. I have a feeling you cannot do that now. Yes ..you can block or unblock in options>filters>host, but do not try to enter the port number (the one after the colon)

The freeloader option does not afaik work although some people seem to find they can make something happen by fiddling with the settings.

Just remember that you might try to browse a host and get no results, and you will assume that they are a freeloader. This is very often not the case, and for a vairiety of reasons like firewalls or sheer bad luck, or the fact that they share fom a different machine, they might, wrongly, appear as freeloaders. So ..someone might browse you and get no results and assume you are a freeloader and block you. If they do I am not sure what you will see at your end, but I assume it is "need more sources" but future searches will not include results from that host, as man o' the world said although this might not take effect instantly.

I have seen this upload problem once or twice, and have no explanation, and the problem has not repeated itself after a restart.... but just check if only one file is downloading at any time, from the host. If they have lined up a number of files, the transfer on one might get interrupted, and another one which was lined up might start, and you might think they are both downloading at the same time...
