The_Dude

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.

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

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

Who doesn't these days?

sixate

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

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

SecretMethod70

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

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

ARTelevision

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.

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

Spungfoo

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

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

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...

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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*

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.

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.
