i know u guys are all big-time Morpheus users, and i tried morph, but didn't like.
i use winmx. and 99.9 of all the users are sharing something. and if they aren't, i assume they are new to the app.
get this though.
i'm 56k. and i don't usually check out how many files one is sharing, i'm more interested in how many are being down/uploaded, to see what kind of speed i'm gonna get.
and yes, i'm always tempted to cancel someone to get a better speed for myself, but i don't.
but the other day i was downloading ONE song, which we all know will take me approx. 20-30 min. to get, when this guy/gal started uploading a song.
no problem, right?
wrong. i "whois'ed the person and found that they were downloading 31 songs with 2 uploads.
i though, damn!
so i sent him/her a message and i quote:

"you've got to be kidding, me, right? 31 songs downloaded and 2 uploads and u think ur going to suck all the speed out of my ONE song that will take me 25min. to get.........NOT!!!!"

and i proceeded to cancel. of course he tried again, but i cancelled him again.
was i wrong????????? am i mean????????
i thought, why can't they go to a dsl or cable and get it faster, why come to me, a 56k??
anyone know why????????
