Leeches
 

I don't know how Gnutella works, but in kazaa-lite, all the leeches drives me nuts. I would love to have the possibility of denying people that doesn't share to download from me. Or set a limit, unless you share more than 10 gigs, you're not allowed to download from me.

I'm new to XoloX. I like the possibility of multiple searches, but I miss right click, find more from user. And the feature I mention above. But I don't know how Gnutella works, maybe it's implemented already? Anyone care to explain?

while there are ways to implement viewing another's shared files please keep in mind this is file sharing not file trading.

Exactly. And why should I waste my bandwidth on someone that isn't sharing then? It's file SHARING, but the leeches doesn't give a ****. So why share with them?

some stats:

70% of gnutella users dont share.
The top 1% of people on gnutella account for 40% of the files.

I don't know where you got your stats from, but I assume they are pretty outdated.

According to my data, 66% of all users are sharing at least 100MB of data. 25% are sharing more than 1GB.

91% of people sharing 100mb+ is highly unlikely...

Who said that it was likely?
Did I skipped something? :confused:

well the 25% are already part of the 66%.

Well,
I guess I will go and practise some more Math :eek:

66% is sharing more than 100 MB. And only 25 % of those over 1GB. I don't know what others think, but that means there are 34% of total leeches, and 75% of more or less leeches in my eyes. That's not positive numbers. Should definitively be a possibillity for not sharing with those darn leeches.
