I can understand that some people don't want to use their FLM username for security reasons. Why would anybody care who is downloading from them
You also kick unidentified sources when downloading stuff yourself?
Unless somebody is downloading something very popular/recent with a high risk of copyright infringement detection I can't understand why anyone would be concerned about using a nick that refers to FLM.....of course they may be supplementing their ed2k diet with something less savoury.....?
No, I don't kick unidentified sources when downloading material myself but this is because I am a releaser, not a downloader. Although I have been connected to eMule 24/7 for some weeks now the last time I downloaded anything whatsoever was probably in excess of 3 weeks ago. I think this entitles me to decide where my upload is going to be directed.
My purpose is the distribution of material & those with a good record of contributing and/or sharing will ALWAYS get preferential treatment.....and yes, somebody got the boot to get emuler started but he has an excellent record & life can sometimes be just tough!
