You are not alone friend, every morning I check my server lists and read server messages...
Error Connection refused (does this mean a poor message base and the server is busy?)
You are Banned! Complaints to .... blah blah why?
Permission denied ..... Why?
Sorry your client [WinMx] is banned?
You may not Share more than xxx files (various figures)
You MUST share more than yyy files (various figures)
The File aaaaaa is too small (short joke files etc)
Files with bitrates or 32k NOT accepted (?Why most radio comedy isx at 32k)
Files with ODD bitrates not accepted (?Why Have server operators NEVER heard of VBR)
Connecting too quickly (Banned)
Disconnected because you refused to join xxx chatroom ?
Need I go on, for heavens sake, why do we have to have all this EGO stuff? Surely all server operators do it to try and top the league in user numbers, why so many petty restrictions?
Personally, when I find an ignorant messasge like that, the first thing that happens is the server complex gets REMOVED and stuff them and their silly ideas.
Having said that, I thanks them for their service, and am always willing to inform them of problems (Real ones) and on occasions have struck up interesting contacts with server operators, who are often pleased to get user comments, or be informed of problems.
Snark.
Long live P2P its freedom for the minions!
