They are not leeches nor bots, they are real people that share fairly and may even be kind and responsive... they just love to love you to death....
I really didn't notice this problem until I started using programs that have hotlists or favorite lists. I guess with this feature it makes it very easy for someone to browse only your files rather then doing a general search themselves. The problem seems to get worse if you have similar interests and a fast upload speed. As long as they are sharing I usually don't care. Sometimes I even check their files to see if they have anything I would want. Usually they do so it becomes more like a trade.

Don't worry TG I'll be sure to only download off of you once a year ...or maybe change my user name every 2 days to throw you off the track
