Hey choppers4life
No, I think its you thats misunderstanding, we understand what your saying. There are ways to share and trade easily. For example MXMonitor allows you to auto start those that your downloading from etc.. and still allow you to have your upload slots set so that other ppl can still get files.
Settings your uploads to 0 means that your only willing to share with either ppl you see fit to share with or those that your actually downloading from and sorry but when my mommy taught me how to share thats not how it was.. lol
If you so worried about the risks of getting caught.. then dont share files. Then you dont have to worry about your upload slots and sharing. But if you really feel that way you're in the wrong p2p. Users on MX dont like leeches and thats what you are if you have 0 uploads or if you dont share.
You might also be interested to note that to date not one person in any country has ever been charged with sharing files on the WinMX Networks....so your in the safest place to be in atm.
The other thing to note here is find some free stuff to share.. free music, free files.. free stuff.. WinMX is not all about illegal files, I suppose there are plenty of those on WinMX of which we have no control but we here at WinMxWorld encourage folks to share files that are not under any copyright laws and free to distribute .. there are thousands and millions.. have a look into some of that to build into your library.
