and it's also the joy with eDonkey. Virtually there are no leeches on that network. Everything you download is automatically shared, even the smallest chunk - and luckily, there is no way you can turn this off. First I didn't even think how effective this can be, but when I got 80% of a file from people who had only partially downloaded it (were in the process of downloading it), I reconsidered. And they can't even cap their upload to a crawl, since your download speed depends on your upload speed. When using morph (less and less since they nuked forum) I pursue the same policy as Tank Girl and JohnDoe345 - for the same reasons.

Best wishes.
