You greedy bastards! SHARE-DAMMIT
 

So, you think Gnutella sucks? Perhaps it is you that sucks. The Gnutella community was designed so that people can share files. The problem is that there exists too many leeches who prefer to download and not allow uploads. Maybe they are thinking that they can maximize their bandwidth by not sharing. But to you I say "you reap what you sow". Stop complaining about download speeds and availability. YOU may be the cause. I have a DS-1 on the internet and my Gnutella shares seven open high speed connections. Yet, it is difficult for me to download a damned thing because-----NOBODY FREAKING SHARES JACK SQUAT. So, if you're complaining, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE or LEAVE THE COMMUNITY.

sharing
 

I will share once I figure why when I type in a group and click on search and I dont even know if its doing anything.. I come from napster and I cant do squat there but I cant here either.

56K bits per butt slow second
 

happy camper at 56K, you no get nothin at T1? hee hee, you pay $$ and get less than 56K?
Did you ever consider it may be your OS?
I share and don't care, fun to watch people d/l britney spears boob shot, laugh a minute. One little boobie and guys go wild, waste of perfectly good computing power. Nice rack though.

Re: You greedy bastards! SHARE-DAMMIT
 

This is why I use Gnotella and disconnect freeloaders automatically. I dont care about sharing with people who dont share themselves, and 56kers take up download slots forever.

HEHE, YOU GOT A POINT THERE MATE
 

YEAH, i mean ive got dsl and i can find **** nothing, and do you know why?
cuz newtella sucks ***,
im looking for the song "the beat goes on" does anyone have it?

Freeloaders would share if every client had freeloader and browser blocking features. Right now I only know of a few that do.

About freeloading - when I started filesharing I had no files to share so got some by downloading and now have 169 good quality and growing all the time. I wasn't freeloading when I started just new! I've shared loads of files now and support what gnutella/limewire is supposed to be about (not grabbing everything you can at someone elses expense) Also cheers to those who don't chop you off when u are using a 56K modem. I'd love to be able to afford a faster connection and I can see it slows faster connections down but I can't afford it. Is filesharing supposed to be elitist?

How about a split uploading system where we could control the number of large files AND the number small files uploading. A slider control could be introduced allowing us to differentiate between large and small files. I have many smaller files that would upload quickly if I didn't have six people uploading 50+ mb files all at the same time. This could help gnutella a lot, especially dial-up users who look for smaller files.

Good for you! :D
No, it is for everyone! I never chop modem users.

I think its cool when someone downloads from me. :D

I thought that was the whole point of Gnutella and the other file sharing protocols.
:cool:

Leechers also cause less sharing
 

A very very sad thing- i thought that since i'd started getting some Record Of Lodoss files (verypopular anime) i'd just share them along with my music. I turn on limewire after getting them, and instantly start getting asses who want 6 connections at once and i cant find them sharing a damned. Not to mention even if i kick them (after several minutes of them trying to put in my queue even MORE requestes) they still get priority over ppl just connecting. The solution i had to use - since there is no banning feature i can find in lime wire- i had to unshare my record of lodoss files. Why? because it was hellatiously annoying to see one user trying to do a billion downloads(- i had set a limit i thought 3 downloads at a time per person limit, was fine, but i get screenfulls of requests from certain ips, annoying, very). Sure he actually couldnt get more than 3- but screenfulls of requests- are ****y.

IP blocking

Go to the options, filters, and put the sucker in question on the IP blocking list.

So, Flux, You are against we who have only 56k, You *amn moron. Mayby we can't get any faster, because we are living on a rural erea. So you feel that you are better than us because of your speed!! Do you have problems with you ***** too??

Actually, I don't know what you wanted to mean by that, editing just in case

Re: Re: Re: You greedy bastards! SHARE-DAMMIT
 

For someone who wants a "dialog" with people, why are you picking up old posts from almost a year ago and replying to people who are probably not here anymore?
This is even worse than trying to talk to those darn unregistered users, these people don't even exist anymore.

Oh Oh.... this tendency I have to agree with 64.24.HIKE is a bit worrying! ;)
But, RealBigSwede, he is right about your unfortunate archeological digs here......

Re: Re: Re: Re: You greedy bastards! SHARE-DAMMIT
 

Nowadays sharing isn't the only way to contribute to the todays world of gnutella with ultrapeers. I see three different groups

1. Users with slow connections
2. Users with broadband connections
3. Users with high speed connections (megabit symmetrical or more)

The first group has very limited amount of bandwidth. They should share only few files and open few upload slots. That will help them maintaining good upload success rate despite the poor connection speed.

Second group has two alternatives:

1. Become an ultrapeer and don't share files. By maintaining large amount of leaf and peer connections will help everyone. It is okay to not share, you help the network by supporting leaves. It is important to left your client on your computer all the time. It is also important to reserve enough bandwidth to your client.
2. Stay as leave and share plenty of files. You can reserve more of your upstream to uploads by staying as a leaf. You can serve fast uploads to people and you should have enough shared files to saturate your upload bandwidth.

Third group has enough bandwidth to share files and become an ultrapeer and serve leaves. You don't have to compromise anything.



So I think it is not bad if you don't share if you can run your client as ultrapeer.

I don't think that $700.00 - $1000.00 is cheap, plus subscription on $79.95-$120.00/month has come down like a Zeppelin. :( I talk to Satellite person and they have so intentions to lower their prices. :( Even a used Satellite system is around $400.00. :( And that is with modem (upload) and Satellite (download) and the subscription is at $39.95. Just now they have special 2 month for $29.95 and then up to $39.96.
But, thanks, for telling us that we with 56k modem are second-class members. :mad:
And I have seen in the last 3 weeks that more and more clients are cutting us out of the loop. So, Please people, Share with us, too. Yes, we are slow, but we have the heart to share with you, so share with us.
Remember that p2p only work by sharing with everybody, even with a "slow" modem. And you others, that just downloading and never share, you are the parasite of p2p. You are not helping anyone but yourself, you are a selfish SOB.
If I had a DSL I world share all my MP3s (around 5000) with all of you. Just now I share around 150 - 350 MP3s, and I rotating them every week of the 5000 MP3s. And that is with my 56k modem.
I do all kind of works on my MP3 files, I putting in the album cover, lyrics and other info about the songs. Just now I trying to get the 192 and higher bit rates, on the same songs that I have. I ripping every CD I can get my hands on, from my girl friend to other friend.
:)

Re: Leechers also cause less sharing
 

I ran into the same thing although all I share are mp3 files. A HUGE number of requests! (I'm using 2.5.5 and people can browse my files). Go to Options, then Advanced, and Preferences. That's where you can set your Freeloader choices. Personally, I feel like if a person is offering 500 files then they're serious about the concept of true file-sharing. ((The 500 is my only personal choice, your mileage may vary. :))

I think you're taking the whole 56K thing way too seriously. Sure, some people may kill them, but the majority don't. I could care less who downloads from me, as far as speed goes - however, while I try to stay up 24/7, I can't be held responsible for network outages that you might take as my having killed the connection. In addition, if I've recently recompiled my kernel and want to test it, I'm not going to wait 36 hours for an upload to complete - but that doesn't mean I killed the connection simply because it was from a 56k user.

i was just about to put something up like this cause danm if people don't share there's no more network and please do stop freeloaders i hate those greedy *******s

very new here. In fact this is my first post.
I have been so fortunate to have been able to download lots of wonderful music and have no intention of not sharing but I don't know if i'm not allowing uploads. I did notice a couple early in the piece but I havn't seen much lately. Might of course, be the music I like....but if i'm doing something wrong...please let me know

before we start, don't ask questions on forums that are really old jsut make a new forum

free spirite to make shure your not doing anything wrong go in tools, options, sharing and add any folders which contain files that people might want. Also make shure the folder in savings and sharing is the same, savings is in options.

You might also want to click on the arrow of uploads and than click on the sub title basic in there you set how much bandwith you will devote to hots who try to upload files from you. you can also check share partially downloaded files under this subsection. go to the second subsection of uploads slots. there you write how many uploads you allow per hosts at the same time this is the first box, and in the second box you type how many uploads are allowed running at the same time.

to check if you are doing all this right go to tools, statistics and network. there beside the word hosts are your "points" or the difference between your downloads and uploads.

FreeSpirit, if you want to know if anybody is actually finding your files & considering them, go to your LW Library & click onto one of your shared folders. The column to the right called Hits will indicate how many people have seen each file. The Uplds column will tell you if anybody has dwnlded any of your files. Hope this helps!?

erm
 

alright in allfairness sure i kill all 56k connections im like that i have faster than t1 and proud to pull major bandwidth
but i do only download from other cable or faster connections since i myself dont want to wait all day to get files from laggers. And to anyone who may have ever tried to download from my vast collection at 56k but couldnt because you live somewhere where cable is non existant then i am sorry. But for people that dont get a cable or dsl connection then i dont feal bad. Your free to look at my selection use my ip to get imformation about me and track down my aim screen name (pweetanax) and politly ask me to send you the song of your choice. but other then that i feal that yes 56-100k is second class and you shouldnt complain. And to the people who said they were patient and didnt whine i would gladly allow you to dl from me since my conenction is always open and my comp is never off maybe reset but never shut down. Forgive me for any bad gramer and such but i just dont care.
