On large public networks I recommend sharing only a few albums. Pick the ones that you really like and want to distribute and keep them shared long enough so that people have time to get them. Sharing just a little publicly keeps you relatively safe from the copyright nazis and also gives better bandwidths to those downloading your stuff.
On small private networks with trusted members only (WASTE, private DC hubs with password access) you can share whatever you have, just apply the upload bandwidth control of your client to limit the traffic somewhat under your maximum capacity so that your own downloads don't suffer.
