Unfair sharing

[mendip]

Using the latest version of Shareaza, sometimes it says that I have passed the TCP connection but not the UDP. Other times it say I have failed both. However my router and my firewall are both set correctly and I have set up a static ip.
I am connected to 7 neighbours and am sharing almost 100 gb of files.
My complaint is that people are taking 100's of mb of me whilst I can only download 1 or 2 mb at most. Is there any way of evening this out or should I just remove my uploads folder. After all sharing is supposed to be a two way street.
All of my downloads remain at either pending or searching and I have quite a few stuck at 99% even though there are plenty of uploaders. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have been through the wiki and help 2 or 3 times now and done everything suggested for correct set up.

You are sharing more files than you are downloading and most people have faster download than upload connection, right? You do the math and it is obvious that the demand for your files will always outstrip download available to you by a wide margin... A part of the imbalance is due to people who download, but do not share and there is stuff you can do to help with that, but the important thing you have to do first is to understand and accept that your download-upload ratio will never be in balance or even anywhere near of it and that it does not really matter. You either are willing to share the files or you are not. What other people do or do not has no real relevance to that. If that sounded like nonsense to you, use BitTorrent. That is where people obsessed with DL/UL ratio do P2P, and some of the solutions they have do actually work to a degree. Will save you lots of work over trying to configure Gnutella 2 or ED2K with their entirely different approach to be more "balanced".
