some new terms for me, what are they?

[ttodd0450]

Some of my uploads have these messages attached:
banned greedy servant
upload limit reached
transfer interrpted

What is a banned greedy servant? and how did they get caught?
Upload limit reached?? whose? theirs or mine?
transfer interrupted..... why ?

I'm fairly new to all this, and did do a search in the forums and didn't really come up with anything.

This posting will solve that.

Those usually refer to messages sent to the other guy.

Say you have the default setting that allows 3 uploads per user.

Someone browses you, and chooses 4 of your files: the fourth, or a duplicate request, gets the "limit reached" message.

Say they choose 100: a lot of them will get the "greedy" message from you, and your server will ignore any more requests from their client for <don't know how long>

If the client starts a download, then kills it or quits, thus refusing any more packets for that file, you get the notification that the upload was "interrupted"

There are more variations and cases I'm sure, but you get the idea . . .

For more and better info, watch for posts by sberlin or one of the other developers. The code is always improving, so today's answers might change (I hope so--I'd like to see the greedy request held queued by the client, who would then only send respectful requests)
