If you don't want to chat to someone then close the chat window.
Talk about "sick"; if you have chat enabled it's much easier for people to browse you - BUT some people seem to think if they can't browse someone then that person isn't sharing so they "block" them! Then that person is unable to connect to people who have blocked them. That's sick!

Why I sometimes kill uploads

(Only with people waiting in line)

I do kill uploads sometimes when a host is not browsable, (especially when they do not have chat enabled) but only if I browsed someone that is qeued and find out that that person is sharing the same kind and quality of videofiles that I am.

I will also kill an upload if I browse that person and all I see is like 400 pornfiles and nothing else and he is uploading something that just hit the network (few hosts). I think the odds of him sharing the finished download is very close to zero.

Same goes for someone just sharing mp3 (depends on quality and amount though) and downloading the newest stuff.

I try to share at least at a 1/1 ratio and I believe 99 % of these host share the files they get from me at 0/1 (Maybe just maybe partial sharing so they get the files quicker).

And do I feel bad about it? no way These people are the ones that are killing the Gnutella Network
