Upload connections
« on: March 25, 2004, 10:49:55 PM »
I need to stop uploading for some time (for legal reasons), so I've set my firewall to reject connections and disabled uploading in amule.
The weird thing is that I'm still uploading... I have seen with netstat that is not the other peer that connects to me, but instead I am connecting to the other peer!
I'm sure of that because I drop any tcp connection, and using netstat I can see that my used port is over 60000 (so a dynamic port) while the other peer's is 4662, and in the logs of the firewall there is no attempt of connection from the other peer.
It must be amule related. This is quite dangerous to me (again, for legal reasons), so I need to stop uploading somehow.

Well... if you have to stop uploading for legal reasons you have to stop downloading for legal reasons :)

We won't support people that disabled upload in a p2p app, I'm sorry :)

I *understand* that you might get into leagl problems by uploading. But then again, you will be on same legal problems by downloading, so don't run amule.

I really can't understand your policy: I have always uploaded so far, and I'm going to do it again in some weeks (when I'll understand how the new law works), so I'm not going to stop uploading just to have faster web surfing, if that's what you're thinking.
Besides, in some countries is legal to download but not to share.
Unfortunately, I'm not a good programmer and I can't understand the amule code; I don't see the problem, for you, in telling me why amule connects to other peers to upload to them.
