Unsharing Users
 

Is there anyway to permanently block those users who refuse to share?

Get a life. dont stress about it, as Hobo says, there is no way to tell if someone is sharing or for sure.

Hey Ferral,

You ought to take your own advice and stop trying to be cute. I have over 9,000 files that I am Sharing.

Eh? sorry lost me there.

As I said Dont care how many files you or anyone else are sharing, just happy to be able to get what I want and do my own thing on P2P. People are welcome to download anything they want from me, I dont stress about whether they are sharing 1 file or 50,000 files (likely as not I wont want 49,999 of em anyway). Got better things to do than hover over the old upload list searching hosts!, suggesting you might might be less stressed by adopting the same philosophy.

PS I am definately not cute! unless your using those chat room jokes as a definition :)

Perhaps Limewire needs to do two things. 1 assign a specific user ID to get around the IP issue, 2. return a message showing too many queued or simply not sharing so that people are not blocked unnecessarily

tommygun48,
Well if you did not share would you want us to block you??? some people dont know how to share!!! so before you get mad think about it!!!

Please stop this- If any freeloaders try to downloadform me I just kill them

How drunk am I lol :)

I saw something about changing ip no's before. How is it done and why would you want to?

Did the date go well mate?? Are you celebrating :D

Static IP addresses cost extra. Normally you get assigned one randomly by your ISP. This means blocking a particular IP is not very effective. you need to be able to block users. A Limewire change item I think. I personally would like to have a setting in tools that says if no files being shared then do not let them access. The no freeloader function does not seem to work.

Date went well. But after that started to go downhill. So I was drowning my sorrows after getting the "It's not you, it's me" speech :(

Hey Sleepless, Sorry to hear that, Chin up mate plenty more fish in the sea...;)

Women. Can't live with em and can't live without them. Now she wants to be friends. Don't know what to think anymore. Been writing back and forth all day. Maybe just Maybe she's starting to see that she made a mistake. I know I sure hope so :) But at the same time I'm not expecting anything now

Can't help but wanting that specific fish ;)

Play hard to get and she'll come running or swimming lol...
Good luck with it all...;)

Think she allready knows that I'm not hard to get. Everything would be so much easier if I only wanted to get laid. Why did I have to start liking her this much. :(

Lmao....
Just slow it down then and dont rush her...As Hobo says patience is a virtue..

Sleepless

Heres a little advice from a person that has been around for a while. If she wants to be friends and you can accept that then by all means be friends with her. Some of my best friends through life have been women.

But if you can not separate your emotions. In other words you want to catch that fish do not try to be just a friend because you will end up getting hurt. When she is seeing others it will hurt and will only cause trouble between you. If you want to catch that fish then lay back for a while and see what happens. It will do you no good to dwell over her.

And yes there are allot of fish in the sea. Sorry it didn't work out but just keep moving forward on the path through life. It is a long and winding road and who knows what is just around the next corner

Am not rushing her.....now. Think that was the root of the issue. I just hope she comes around. Don't think that she would be texting me wanting to be friends if she wasn't starting to

Ty for the advise all. But not really ready to go fishing for others just yet.

Well at least I got to try going on a date. It's really uncommon in the Faroes to do that. Useally we just hook up while out partying and take it from there ;)

ok that is getting too off-topic but anyways... what is a freeloader?

A person that takes but does not give anything back. There are allot more choice words and definitions of a freeloader but I would get edited them if I used them. :D

Thanks Only A Hobo. Will have a look in future on threads discussing a particular issue. Still think it is pretty poor behaviour to not share but would hate to unnecessarily block someone just because the Limewire application could not tell me if they were not sharing or genuinely busy. Ahh well -Keep on sharing. Perhaps I might see if this has been suggested as a change.

Only when spammers come to mind do I immediately block them most of the time. The same goes for those with very bad files and useless URL links (that happened to me once).

Even with those bad files and spammers you do not know if you are blocking only them. They might have dynamic IP's. Then they will have a differnt IP next time, and some poor soul that is sharing the top of the line will be blocked instead.

Of Course that is up to you, but I find it much better to just use the keywordfilter, look at size and use Bitzi, and of course some common sense. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is. It has worked well for me at least. In the over two years of using Limewire, I have had one bad virus-like file. Not a real virus but this one made my cpu go to 100% every time I got close to it. Had to use the command-promt without starting windows to be able to remove it.
