Right on Grandpa

The trouble with your idea is that you're trying to FORCE your way on others in a dictatorial way. YOU think there's no good reason for someone else to limit uploads. You need to have an open mind. You have a right to control your activities, others have rights. So you're in Europe and you're getting used to the EU dictatorship?

JhonySlater, are u crazy, the points system is from Edonkey, and if you're not popular uploading, then no-one in your all life will upload to you, specially if you're on dial-up, that's too hostile for dial-up users (i cut those chains with ADSL 200 Kb/s, even there i can't upload more than 10 Kb/s dl'ing at 15 Kb/s), that idea is totally out of this world

I voted yes to being slow at times. I have a reason for that though. I have been watching my connections to others that I download from and I have notticed there are people I am supposed to be getting files from and yet when I browse them they have nothing that I am downloading. I like to refer to these people as piggy backers. I think they attach themselves to certain file or persons files and steal bandwidth from others. That to me is something that people need to start to watch out for. I know this to be true because I will pause the download and watch my bandwidth increase to what it should be. I then resume the download and browse each person on that download and there are maybe 2 to 3 people on there that are not shareing what it is that I am after. You want better speed? get rid of these people "what I like to call piggy backers" and you will see an increase in your download speed. I do click on these individuals and block them but I dont know if that stops them from being able to still download. Hope to see something done about this.

set up your options properly
 

i had dial-up (really slow), now i have T1 connection. what i didn't like then was the selfish sharers that wouldn't give me the time to get something downloaded. all the thousands of songs i have aren't worth a pisshole in snow if i'm not on.

even tho in my searches i pick the fastest connections T3 or T1 they can still run slow(1,2,3 kbs). for my setup the normal range is around 15-25kbs DL from one host T1 or T3 connection for one song.

the reason is because they allow too many uploads at a time. even tho i can only DL 3 at a time, they are allowing too many total UL.

the people that need to be banned are the ones that WON'T set up their tools properly!

p.s. anyone who has dial-up send me a PM i'll find something you'll like, and i'll leave the light on for ya.:xeri_ok1ani:

i'm on dialup and i only have a 3hr exact connection, so anybody can try and download form me within that time frame however many will get cut off automatically or i will have to kill the upload or uploads and then go to file- disconnect- pause my downloads disconnect and reconnect, if i don't and i have fallen asleep, i have auto-dial to re-dial in and frostwire will try to reconnect, however sometimes now it's been totally not trying to reconnect esp. if i've fallen asleep for the whole day, however i can download if the ips of others didn't change..

"Oh and some modem users and cable/dsl lie about their speed and some of those t1s and t3s could really be them...
