| If you turn on all the freeloader options then it really is not freeloading, because you can not download either, unless it is a secure client.
But seriously, security features are one of the biggest areas that the Gnutella Network is completely lacking in now. Any progress in this direction is a good thing even if has problems, promotes freeloading, and is generally disliked. 
Hopefully someone will develope security features that really work and will be good enough to protect the users against the things that are bound to come in the future, such as that law the music industry wants so they can legally hack others.
