in my opinion, moving your files out of your download folder to check their activity is no sin. and for your question... how to encourage people to... no. i think you're asking a wrong question. there's no way you can surely encourage netizens to do whatever, really... (i say it's kind of a gray area because it's also a matter of ethics. and as you should know, there's often no sure answer to such an ethical issue.) you could try posting messages about it at Gnutella forum and places like that, but i SERIOUSLY doubt you will have any impact. so... just pray that netizens will become more thoughtful... or something. :-/ ...
