i AM NEW AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT UR SAYING  , BUT I LET PPL DOWNLOAD IF I CAN BROWSE THEM IF NOT I KILL THE UPLOAD 
 oops sorry   for the caps   -  its really annoying when im willing to share but others arent so keen 
also i have noticed an increase in the number of files that i download and find that they dont get past a certain percentage and then they sit forever ive got one song thats been at 99 % for the last week  - is someone playing games with me ???   
 
i have on the odd accasion been able to get the chat box up and i usually say  thankx for letting me download  i dont know if anyone gets this message but i send it anyway i have never had a reply   am i doing something wrong ?  
  
I have also noticed that a lot of ppl have actual files on their downloads thingy  when i browse   - is there anyway to let them know that they might not want others to have access to those files ?? 
Can u tell me if there is someway to get rid of the silly files that ppl put on for downloading  - eg  theres a girl who belly dances and i have thought that i was downloading a legitimate file to find the stoopid girl belly dancing  
anyway i hope u get all the leaves picked up before winter
