Well Map
You make a good point when you said: Quote: |
My understanding was that the system allowed a user to get a file piece by piece from several sources, and if only one user were involved that would put a considerable onus on him, particularly for large files.
| However, your interpretation of my point about incomplete files, i.e. Quote: |
Do you mean that users do not want a file until they can be sure that they will get all of it and not just a part?
| is mistaken.
Let me explain, if you look at the file names in your Incomplete folder they all start with "T-" followed by an eight or nine digit number. Now, my experience of these files may be based on their misuse by others but P2P users, in the past, have ended up with such incomplete files in their Saved and Shared folders.
That is why I personally believe that you should only share complete files. However, I will concede that my impression may have been based on the misuse of incomplete files.
Finally, should you upgrade your copy of LW? Well, that's a matter of personal choice, get to know what you have now before deciding to upgrade simply because not all upgrades are beneficial.
