Hi
I think I have been banned. Rampage blocked me because he said I wasnt sharing any data, even tho i explained that I was gonna share data very soon once i had unpacked my external hard drive. So I apologize if he didn't fully understand me.
Is it possible I could be unblocked. I can now share as my hard drive is connected up
Many Thanks
dbuk
banned?

PM-ed about this. The conversation I saw did indicate that you were not sharing because the min share was zero, not due the the lack of an external hard drive. Also, if you are downloading stuff, then you must be downloading it to somewhere, be it external or not, and so that can be shared.
Just as a warning for other people, we repeat again that the minimum share is NOT an indication of how much you should be sharing. it is kept low so that people with smaller drives, no much original stuff can get onto the hub.
If people just share the minimum "because that is all it requires", then the hub would die. Simple as that.
Just picture 20 on campus people all sharing 0B and you get the idea.
Sorry to rant but this really does need saying early on.
