Kazaa....Do you share?
 
I share my files, but i've set a limit on upload bandwidth and set it to only 2 uploads at a time.

And i got all my files (mainly porno movies) on sharing.


Btw, i also cut off people that try to download off of me that doesnt share any files.

TaLoN 05-08-2003 07:03 PM

i share when i can, but sometimes (im sure this is true for a lot of people) i am on a connection that does not allow outside users to connect to. These people don't have the option to share, so i don't bother checking to see if they share or not.

Mongolguy 05-08-2003 07:04 PM

I share about 1200 files, mostly mp3's and books.
I share with anyone, even if they don't share. Don't hurt a bit.

arael 05-08-2003 07:07 PM

Who doesn't these days?

sixate 05-08-2003 07:07 PM

I share about 60 gigs of porn, music, and other stuff.
I don't care if other people don't share. They have their reasons.
I only allow 2 uploads.

BulletBob 05-08-2003 07:22 PM

I share all of my music and videos, most of the porn i download from kazaa gets deleted after used though.

SecretMethod70 05-08-2003 07:36 PM

With Kazaa, I share but only allow 1 download at a time at a max speed of 1K/s (yeah yeah, I don't feel like drawing attention to myself on my school's connection)

Reason that's so low is because with K++ I don't have to worry about my rating.

With eMule I am much more liberal in my sharing - high limit on number of downloads and total bandwidth of something like 500K/s - this helps keep my eMule rating a good one with many people.

That seems to be how it is for me as well. I share all my mp3s and movies, but people try to download it and can't. Must have something to do with my router...

MSD 05-08-2003 07:54 PM

24.7GB in 2059 files, no porn. 3 uploads at once, 128kb/s max per person.

ARTelevision 05-08-2003 08:04 PM

no - I avoid P2P.
I don't listen to mp3 music, don't watch movie files, I don't download porn, and I have the software I need.
I can think of only one file I've downloaded from a P2P app in the last 6 months. I've never used it since I downloaded it anyway.

SexyCat 05-08-2003 08:06 PM

I share about 12 gigs of miscellaneous stuff, but limit the number of uploads I allow.

Spungfoo 05-08-2003 08:08 PM

Always. If I'm using other's people's bandwidth they should be able to use mine; it's only fair. As of right now I'm sharing around 25 gigs of mp3's. I usually allow 5 people to download from me at a time - what I usually do is queue up a bunch of stuff before I go to sleep and let it download overnight, that way my bandwidth isn't being taken up when I need it.

Stilts 05-08-2003 08:13 PM

I'm sharing about 128 gigs right now. Allow 2 uploads at the same time, no speed cap, but my cable isn't the fastest for uploads anyhow, think it's either 128, or 256. I had another 15 gigs of movies that was also shared, but I lost that when one of my drives went out.

JStrider 05-08-2003 09:28 PM

well my school started cracking down on peer 2 peer stuff and if you upload theyll catch you... so i dont upload at all... before they started doing this i had it set to 2 uploads with a 50kbps max on uploading...

degrawj 05-09-2003 12:15 AM

i don't share many of my mp3s, but i share tons of videos and other stuff. most of the files i have though are hard to find, which is why i share them. i try to be nice. :-)

Reese 05-09-2003 12:30 AM

I'm on a 56k, I still share but limit uploads to 2 users and 1kb each.

eyeronic 05-09-2003 01:25 AM

I set it to go and then share whatever I download that session until i move it to other folders for organization. I'm paranoid about getting busted if 'm sharing too many files. Didn't anyone else hear about those three college kids?

alpha 05-09-2003 01:35 AM

I don't use Kazaa. DC++.

Unknown Poster 05-09-2003 02:03 AM

I share a bunch of mp3's, and a couple movies(non-porn).

Magpie0001 05-09-2003 02:49 AM

I share whatever I have, 1 D-Load at a time.


"Your mother was right, It is good to share"

SiN 05-09-2003 03:02 AM

hm..if i do share, it's just what i've d/l from Kazaa (which isnt much, and if its worth keeping it usually gets moved shortly after d/l)
i'd allow 1 upload, at a slow speed...just don't have the bandwidth, and most of the upload usually goes to eMule.

Golux 05-09-2003 03:15 AM

I share... but I only share my darkwave/industrial/synthpop mp3's over 10 gigs of it. I don't share anything else.. the stuff that I have is hard to get and usually only available through import so anyone who wants it I want to give it to them. Fortunately because it's so unpopular, it doesn't really hog my bandwidth, but I get constant messages from people begging me to stay on so that they can finish getting the stuff that I have because it is hard to find... so it makes me feel good in my little pir8 puppie way!

DEI37 05-09-2003 04:03 AM

It's limited bandwidth and total uploads, but I share. Also share on WinMX.

Roark 05-09-2003 06:13 AM

I don't share but only because i'm on dialup. Don't really download much anymore either though, i'm pretty much where I want to be as far as music.

Jesus Pimp 05-09-2003 07:03 AM

I'm on cable and don't share. Why would I want people using my upload bandwith? :D

shalafi 05-09-2003 07:18 AM

i share but at work i only allow 1 upload because our stupid wireless internet sucks. god i wish they would get us a real connection

billege 05-09-2003 08:53 AM

Somehow I've missed the attraction of P2P. I can never find anything worth having. The content is just not there. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I never find better than the shit, two second porn clips, and I rarely find the music I'd like to try.

Cynthetiq 05-09-2003 09:00 AM

i don't use p2p.. only FTP for me.

MikeyChalupa 05-09-2003 10:37 AM

I share, but on WinMX. I went to WinMX when Napster died. I tried Kazaa and loved it, most of my library came from there. But I left when it became evil, with the spyware and all. WinMX is still the best, IMHO.

Since 11/10/2000, I have amassed 2300 mp3's. I share them freely.

I don't share or download movies. I do have some video clips, mostly SNL bits and commericals, or other silly stuff. The only long-ish videos I have are Thumb Wars and the first episode of Invader Zim.

BoCo 05-09-2003 10:47 AM

I share, but only while I'm also using the program to download. When I'm finished downloading, you better be finished uploading or it's tuff shit for you.

Also, the only files I share are a few programs that I had trouble finding, so I figured others might have trouble finding them, too.

CSflim 05-09-2003 02:15 PM

I'm on a 56K. It a real pain in the ass, so I don't usually share, and I'm pretty ashamed of it! But in fairness, its not really viable given the fact that each Kbps of bandwidth is vital.

Sun Tzu 05-09-2003 02:57 PM

I've had problems in Kazaa and even the claimed spyware-free Kazaa-lite. imesh is full of viruses. Does anyone know a safe trading site?

meanSpleen 05-09-2003 03:01 PM

I share everything all the time... that I actually use kazaa. I have it installed, but I only use it about once a month just to find ONE song. Everything is uncapped, so if you can download all my mp3's in that brief 5-10 minutes that I am using kazaa, be my guest. Otherwise, its not even turned on.

In soulseek, I have 2 uploads, and a cap of 15kbs. I prefer soulseek and use it more often because I prefer albums ripped from the same source. You are more likely to achieve this with soulseek.

The_Dude 05-09-2003 03:13 PM

y'all really should try kazaa lite, its kazaa w/o spyware.

Joe Fnord 05-09-2003 05:53 PM

Yep. Got a couple hundred MP3s I share (about 50/50 split of ones I ripped myself and ones I "found"). However, my music tastes are pretty odd, so I don't get many downloaders. *shrug*

monster 05-09-2003 06:56 PM

i don't share. i'm too lazy to punch a hole in my firewall

Holy crap! I just installed SoulSeek and it kicks ass! Thanks Spleen. (and thanks Hal for telling Spleen about it)

And I'm like Spleen when it comes to sharing. :)

bundy 05-09-2003 07:15 PM

i only share in Kazaa Lite.

i share music, porn and software.

lt1s10 05-09-2003 07:31 PM

I'll cue up what I'm looking for and while I download I upload. After that it's off until I need it again. I don't use it as a primary source so I don't upload very much of the 30 gigs that is shared while I'm using it.
