I agree with this too. In my first post I kind of stated something like this. We difinitely need to assign a certain number of upload slots for just 56k and just broadband so that both don't fight over each other to get files.

I believe you summed it up perfectly.

It does feel that way doesn't it....but as TG pointed out there are a handful of programmers that are actual fellow file sharing users and may develop a program that fits our needs. I guess we will just have to wait and see... Whatever the future holds, commercial programs aren't the way to go if they continue with the way they are going.
