This is about the Advanced Settings Dialog accessible in Power Mode.

The Shareaza Advanced Settings menu as of v2.5.0.0

These settings should only be changed if you know what you are doing. Misconfiguration can cause your computer to misbehave, your Shareaza to fail downloading or other funny things.

The default settings are optimal for most people and if you don't have to, let your fingers away from this section, as you can configure the important settings from within the normal configuration menus.

Bandwidth

This section allows a user to edit bandwidth limiting functions for different aspects of the program. Setting an element ensures that the bandwidth used by that feature does not exceed the value specified. Units are in Kilobits per Second and, if set to zero, symbolizes infinity (unlimited).

Bandwidth.HubIn

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the incoming bandwidth for the network connections when you are in Hub Mode.

Bandwidth.HubOut

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the outgoing bandwidth for the network connections when you are in Hub Mode.

Bandwidth.HubUploads

• Default: 40 Kb/s
• Limits your upload speed when you are in Hub Mode so that you will be a better Hub. (Deprecated since 8866 . Replaced by a fixed limit of 50% of the available bandwidth.)

Bandwidth.LeafIn

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the incoming bandwidth for the network connections when you are in Leaf Mode.

Bandwidth.LeafOut

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the outgoing bandwidth for the network connections when you are in Leaf Mode.

Bandwidth.PeerIn

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the incoming bandwidth for the network connections when you are in legacy Peer Mode. You will probably never have to change this unless you know what Peer mode is.

Bandwidth.PeerOut

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Limits the outgoing bandwidth for the network connections when you are in legacy Peer Mode. You will probably never have to change this unless you know what Peer mode is.

Bandwidth.Request

• Default: 32 Kb/s
• Defines the limit for requests made to other clients from the local machine including Transfer Requests, Search Requests, and other messages not directly related to a persistent Hub, Leaf, or Peer connection.

Bandwidth.UdpOut

• Default: 0 Kb/s (Unlimited)
• Defines the limit for UDP traffic from the local machine. UDP traffic is used primarily for the G2 network when performing iterative-walk searches to search the entire G2 network. This kind of traffic has a limit primarily because some Internet providers and/or hardware will not handle more than a certain amount of UDP traffic per second or drop the packets if the connection bottlenecks because of its unreliable and low-priority nature. Setting this limit lower may make your connection to the G2 network more efficient if you are experiencing inefficiency due to dropped UDP packets.

BitTorrent

This section pertains to settings used with the BitTorrent network and BitTorrent file transfers only.

BitTorrent.AdvancedInterface

• Default: 0 (False)
• Enables/Disables the advanced interface elements for BitTorrent. (Deprecated?)

BitTorrent.AdvancedInterfaceSet

• Default: 0 (False)
• (Deprecated?)

BitTorrent.AutoClear

• Default: 0 (False)

BitTorrent.AutoMerge

• Default: 1 (True)

BitTorrent.AutoSeed

• Default: 1 (True)
• If set to true, BitTorrent downloads that were being seeding when the program was quit will be reseeded automatically when the program is restarted.

BitTorrent.BandwidthPercentage

• Default: 80%
• Shareaza will attempt to allocate this percentage of your upload speed to BitTorrent uploads.

BitTorrent.ClearRatio

• Default: 120%
• After a torrent has uploaded this percentage of the total amount of data needed to download it, it will be automatically be removed from the seeding list. Note that this means if you set this to 100%, a torrent may still seed 110% of its size as the total amount of data needed for the download is normally superior to the size of the download itself.

BitTorrent.ConnectThrottle

• Default: 360 s

BitTorrent.DefaultTracker

• Default: udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80

BitTorrent.DefaultTrackerPeriod

• Default: 5 m
• Defines how often Shareaza contacts the tracker if the tracker doesn't specify how often it should be contacted. Trackers default settings often specify to BT Clients to requery every 30 minutes. (the tracker controls how often this happens). This setting should be 5 minutes, and it is very unwise to change it.

BitTorrent.DHTPruneTime

• Default: 30 m
• Setting not yet functional, as DHT has not been fully implemented yet (as of 2009-11-03).

BitTorrent.DownloadConnections

• Default: 40
• Determins how many connections can be opened for BitTorrent downlaods.

BitTorrent.DownloadTorrents

• Default: 3
• Determines the number of active torrent downloads. Torrents exceeding this limit will be paused until an other torrent has completed downloading. By manually starting paused torrents, you can circumvent this limit.

BitTorrent.EnableAlways

• Default: 1 (True)

BitTorrent.Endgame

• Default: 1 (True)

BitTorrent.HostExpire

• Default: 2 d

BitTorrent.LinkPing

• Default: 120 s
• Defines the timeout period between keep-alive pings on a BitTorrent connection. These pings are used to ensure the remote host that the local host is still persistent in an active connection.

BitTorrent.LinkTimeout

• Default: 180 s
• Defines the timeout period before Shareaza drops an active connection if it has not yet received a LinkPing from the remote host (see above).

BitTorrent.PreferenceBTSources

• Default: 1 (True)

BitTorrent.QueryHostDeadline

• Default: 30 s

BitTorrent.RandomPeriod

• Default: 30 s

BitTorrent.RequestLimit

• Default: 128 KB
• Defines the maximum request size (chunk size) allowed by a remote host when it makes a file transfer request.

BitTorrent.RequestPipe

• Default: 4
• Defines the number of concurrent BitTorrent requests that Shareaza will accept at any given time.

BitTorrent.RequestSize

• Default: 16 KB
• Defines the size requested by the local host when making file transfer requests to remote hosts. It should not be changed.

BitTorrent.SourceExchangePeriod

• Default: 10 m
• Defines the timeout period between source exchanges for BitTorrent downloads.

BitTorrent.TorrentCodePage

• Default: 0 (use system's code page)
• Shareaza will assume, for torrents that have no encoding key, and are not using a unicode character set (utf-8), that the name and path keys shall be interpreted using your system's code page. Users may wish to change this value to a specific windows code page. It is most useful for correctly displaying certain interface elements within Shareaza, but it will not affect how the files are saved. An arbitrary example: if you have windows set to use Korean (code page 949), Chinese encoded torrents (using code page 950, traditional chinese) may not display correctly in the interface. If so, you may wish to change from the Default setting to 950. One might also commonly encounter Japanese (932) or Simplified Chinese (936) torrents.

BitTorrent.TorrentCreatorPath

• Default: TorrentWizard.exe in the same directory as Shareaza.exe

BitTorrent.TorrentExtraKeys

• Default: 1 (True)
• If true, Shareaza will be able to read the encoding key, if present, and the path.utf-8 key and name.utf-8 key, if present. (Deprecated?)

Gnutella1.RequeryDelay

• Default: 30 s
• Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before sending the same query again. Lower values will send queries more often, higher values will send queries less often. It is generally accepted to keep the value above 45 minutes to avoid flooding the network with query traffic. (This is a search-specific throttle which affects the retransmission of that query to any connected clients.)

Gnutella1.SearchTTL

• Default: 4
• Defines the Time-To-Live (TTL) of outgoing search packets on the gnutella network.

Gnutella1.StrictPackets

• Default: 0 (False)

Gnutella1.TranslateTTL

• Default: 2

Gnutella1.VendorMsg

• Default: 1 (True)
• If true, Shareaza displays Vendor Messages with or in place of HTTP status codes.

Gnutella2

This section pertains to settings used with the Gnutella2 (G2) network and Gnutella2 file transfers only.

Gnutella2.EnableAlways

• Default: 1 (True)
• Sets whether or not Gnutella2 will always be enabled.

Gnutella2.HAWPeriod

• Default: 300 s

Gnutella2.HostCount

• Default: 15

Gnutella2.HostCurrent

• Default: 10 m (minutes)
• Shareaza queries only hosts that have been recently seen.

Gnutella2.HostExpire

• Default: 2 d (days)
• Sets the time G2 hosts remain stored in the Host Cache. Zero indicates that the Hubs in the Host Cache shall not expire.

Gnutella2.HubHorizonSize

• Default: 128

Gnutella2.HubVerified

• Default: 0 (False)

Gnutella2.KHLHubCount

• Default: 50
• Defines the number of hubs that Shareaza will cache in the G2 Host Cache.

Gnutella2.KHLPeriod

• Default: 60 s
• Defines the timeout period before sending out the next KHL.

Gnutella2.LNIPeriod

• Default: 60 s

Gnutella2.NumHubs

• Default: 2
• Maximum: 3
• Sets the number of Hubs to connect to when running in Leaf Mode. Its default value (2) should be largely sufficient for everyone. People with very unstable connections can also choose 3 for a more secure connection, however this is not needed for 99% of all users.

Gnutella2.NumLeafs

• Default: 300
• Maximum: 1024
• This setting sets the amount of leafs slots when running in Hub Mode. Its value is changed on first run dependent on your Internet connection speed.

Gnutella2.NumPeers

• Default: 6
• Maximum: 64
• This setting sets the amount of Peer to Peer connections when running in Hub Mode. Its value can be set to 64 for special purposes, however setting it to more than 1/40 of the Gnutella2.NumLeafs is considered as being bad for the network. It's default setting should be good for everyone.

Gnutella2.PingRate

• Default: 15 s

Gnutella2.PingRelayLimit

• Default: 10
• Maximum: 30
• Used when running in Hub Mode only. Defines the maximum number of neighboring nodes to send a ping relay marker to.

Gnutella2.QueryGlobalThrottle

• Default: 125 ms
• Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before sending another query to any connected Gnutella 2 clients. Lower values will send queries more often, higher values will send queries less often. While the G2 protocol is much less sensetive to the drawbacks of searching, it is generally accepted to keep the value above 200 milliseconds to avoid flooding any connected hosts with query traffic. (This is a global throttle which controls all queries to all connected clients.)

Gnutella2.QueryHostDeadline

• Default: 600 s

Gnutella2.QueryHostThrottle

• Default: 120 s
• Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before sending another query to the same host. Lower values will send queries more often, higher values will send queries less often. It is generally accepted to keep the value above 120 seconds to avoid flooding a host with query traffic. (This is a global throttle which controls all queries to a specific connected client.)

Gnutella2.QueryLimit

• Default: 2400

Gnutella2.RequeryDelay

• Default: 4 h
• Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before automatically sending an active search.

Gnutella2.UdpBuffers

• Default: 512
• Defines the number of slots allocated for incoming and outgoing UDP packets in the UDP packet buffer. Larger numbers may allow Shareaza to drop less overall UDP packets in cases where network packets are seen to surge and wane regularly.

Gnutella2.UdpGlobalThrottle

• Default: 1

Gnutella2.UdpInExpire

• Default: 30 s
• Defines the maximum amount of time Shareaza will wait before discarding a packet in the incoming UDP packet buffer if it has not yet been processed. Raising this timeout will give packets more time to be processed, lowering it will discard them more quickly.

Gnutella2.UdpInFrames

• Default: 256

Gnutella2.UdpMTU

• Default: 500
• Defines the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for UDP packets. 500 is the recommended value for best compatibility with ATM switched networks which carry traffic on the Internet in-between the source and destination hosts.

Gnutella2.UdpOutExpire

• Default: 26 s
• Defines the maximum amount of time Shareaza will wait before discarding a packet in the outgoing UDP packet buffer if it has not yet been processed. Raising this timeout will give packets more time to be processed, lowering it will discard them more quickly. Setting this value too low will drop packets on slower connections.

Gnutella2.UdpOutFrames

• Default: 256

Gnutella2.UdpOutResend

• Default: 6 s
• Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before resending the last UDP transmission if it does not receive an expected acknowledgement from the remote host.

Interface

Interface.LowResMode

• Default: 0 (False)
• Allows users with very little or low-resolution screens to see menus and options (GUI).

Interface.TipAlpha

• Default: 230

Interface.TipDelay

• Default: 600 ms

Interface.TipDownloads

• Default: 1 (True)

Interface.TipLibrary

• Default: 1 (True)

Interface.TipMedia

• Default: 1 (True)

Interface.TipNeighbours

• Default: 1 (True)

Interface.TipSearch

• Default: 1 (True)

Interface.TipUploads

• Default: 1 (True)

IRC

This section sets the options to configure Shareazas IRC support.

IRC.FloodEnable

• Default: 1 (True)

IRC.Show

• Default: 1 (True)

IRC.Timestamp

• Default: 0 (False)
• Enables/disables the time stamp preceding messages in the IRC chat window.

IRC.Updated

• Default: 0 (False)

Library

This section configures the behavior of items in the Shareaza Library system.

Library.CreateGhosts

• Default: 1 (True)
• Enables/disables the creation of ghost files on file deletion. This is needed if you wish Shareaza to remember already deleted files as well as the meta data and comments you made about them. It is not recommended to disable this setting as disabling it means that bad file ratings (for example if a file contains a virus) do not spread among the network without ghost files.

Library.HashWindow

• Default: 1 (True)
• If enabled, a little pop-up window is shown near the system tray indicating Shareaza is hashing files. Has been disabled by default in the past because of a display bug that triggered an error message on Win2k. This bug has been fixed on v2.5.0.0.

Library.HighPriorityHash

• Default: 0 (False)
• Enables/disables high priority hashing. High priority hashing is faster than normal hashing, but consumes more computer resources than normal hashing. Depending on the hardware of your PC, this can make it lag, stop responding or even crash, however, on modern PCs, this shouldn't cause problems anymore.

Library.HighPriorityHashing

• Default: 20 MB/s
• Defines how quickly Shareaza hashes files when high priority (fast) hashing has been enabled. See Library.HighPriorityHash.

Library.HistoryDays

• Default: 3 days
• Sets the number of days a newly downloaded file is shown in the recently downloaded files list on the first page of the Library Manager.

Library.HistoryTotal

• Default: 32 files
• Sets the number of files shown in the recently downloaded files list on the first page of the Library Manager. Once this limit is reached, the oldest entry is removed from the list.

Library.LowPriorityHashing

• Default: 2 MB/s
• Sets how quickly files are hashed when slower hashing is chosen in the library settings. See also Library.HighPriorityHash.

Library.MarkFileAsDownloaded

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.MaxMaliciousFileSize

• Default: 1024 Bytes
• Warn users when there are more than 4 duplicates of files under this size in their library.

Library.PanelSize

• Default: 120 px
• Sets the size of the file details / recently downloaded files panel in the Library Manager.

Library.PreferAPETags

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.QueryRouteSize

• Default: 20
• This setting determines the size of the Query Routing Table which Shareaza sends to Hubs and ultrapeers. The size is measured as 2^x bits, so 20 is a table 1,048,576 bits (or 131,072 bytes) large. The larger the table, the fewer queries you will receive for files you do not have, however you will have to upload and maintain the table for every Hub and ultrapeer you connect with. 20 is recommended as a good balance.

Library.ScanAPE

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanASF

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanAVI

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanCHM

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanEXE

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanImage

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanMP3

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanMPC

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanMPEG

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanMSI

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanOGG

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ScanPDF

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ShowCoverArt

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ShowPanel

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ShowVirtual

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.SmartSeriesDetection

• Default: 1 (True)
• Enables/disables parsing of file names in order to detect some common meta-data. e.g. "cool_film_s01e05.avi" would get "Title: cool film", "Season: 01" and "Episode: 05".

Library.SourceExpire

• Default: 1440 m
• Defines the amount of time for Shareaza to wait before discarding discovered alternate sources for files in the library.

Library.SourceMesh

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.StoreViews

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.ThumbSize

• Default: 128 px
• Defines the square pixel size for thumbnails served to G2 clients who wish to view the remote thumbnail for a video or image file. Units are pixels of one edge of a square. Has been set from 96 to 128 on v2.5.0.0.

Library.TigerHeight

• Default: 9
• Defines the depth level of TigerTree hashing data provided by the local host to remote hosts wishing to verify files by Tiger-Tree Hashing. Larger numbers provide more detailed hashing data, but the data will take up more space on the disk and, thus, take longer to transfer to clients who request it. It is best not to change this setting.

Library.TreeSize

• Default: 200 px
• Defines the size (in pixels) of the folder tree on the left side of the Library Manager.

Library.UseCustomFolders

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.UseFolderGUID

• Default: 1 (True)

Library.VirtualFiles

• Default:0 (False)
• If true, Shareaza will omit the tags of .mp3 files when hashing these files in your library, and it will only advertise and share these virtual files with others. There are good reasons for setting this to false, to not to strip these metadata tags. After v2.1.0.0, this setting, previously configurable in the upload settings, was moved to the advanced settings.

Library.WatchFolders

• Default: 1 (True)
• Sets whether Shareaza watches the folders that are part of the library for changes. If set to false, Shareaza will not detect changes to the library made by other applications (e.g. when a file is deleted or modified).

Library.WatchFoldersTimeout

• Default: 5 s (seconds)

Media Player

Settings for Shareazas integrated Shareaza Media Player and support settings for external players.

MediaPlayer.EnableEnqueue

• Default: 1 (True)

MediaPlayer.EnablePlay

• Default: 1 (True)

MediaPlayer.ListVisible

• Default: 1 (True)

MediaPlayer.Random

• Default: 0 (False)

MediaPlayer.Repeat

• Default: 0 (False)

MediaPlayer.ShortPaths

• Default: 0 (False)
• Some players cannot handle Unicode path names, but do work when given DOS file names (8.3 file names). This setting does only affect users who use external players instead of the built-in plugin.

MediaPlayer.StatusVisible

• Default: 1 (True)

Remote

These settings are used to set up Shareazas remote access.

Remote.Enable

• Default: 0 (False)
• Shareazas Remote Access is disabled by default. It can be used to control Shareaza from a remote computer. To use this feature, port forwarding has be be set up correctly.

Scheduler

These settings are used to control Shareazas built-in scheduler

Scheduler.AllowHub

• Default: 1 (True)

Scheduler.Enable

• Default: 0 (False)

Scheduler.LimitedBandwidth

• Default: 50%

Scheduler.LimitedNetworks

• Default: 1 (True)

Search

These options configure the behavior of searches and search results at the application layer.

Search.AdultFilter

• Default: 0 (False)
• Enables/disables the adult filter. To add/remove filter words, modify the AdultFilter.dat file in your Shareaza Data folder with any normal text editor.

Search.AdvancedPanel

• Default: 1 (True)
• Enables/disables displaying of the advanced panel in the Search Window, which allows you to choose the networks to search as well as the desired file size. The result details are also enabled/disabled with this setting.

Search.AutoPreview

• Default: 1 (True)

Search.ClearPreviews

• Default: 0 (False)

Search.DetailPanelVisible

• Default: 1 (True)
• Sets whether the advanced file information panel which shows for example preview images, extended meta data or user ratings is visible by default when opening a new Search Window/Tab.

Search.ExpandMatches

• Default: 0 (False)

Search.GeneralThrottle

• Default: 200 ms
• Represents the minimum time, in milliseconds, of delay between the same search requests to prevent hub/server hammering.

Search.HideSearchPanel

• Default: 0 (False)
• Enables/disables auto-hiding of the search panel on search start.

Search.HighlightNew

• Default: 1 (True)
• When conducting a new search while still retaining the display of old results, Shareaza will hightlight new search results for some seconds.

Search.MaxPreviewLength

• Default: 20 KB
• Defines the maximum allowable size for preview images served to remote hosts when they request a preview thumbnail.

Search.MonitorQueue

• Default: 128
• Defines the maximum number of searches to display in the scrolling search monitor. This list behaves in a FIFO manner.

Search.SanityCheck

• Default: 1 (True)

Search.SchemaTypes

• Default: 1 (True)
• If true, search results are filtered based on file extensions defined in schemas, if schemas are not available. This setting is dubious, at least it should allow to organize newly downloaded files in the Library based on the extension.

Search.SearchPanel

• Default: 1 (True)
• If set to 0 (False), Shareaza will show a small pop-up box to specify search terms and preferences instead of opening the search window directly. Once a search has been started, the search panel does not show in the search window by default.

Search.ShowNames

• Default: 1 (True)
• If true, Shareaza displays detected client names of hosts in search results instead of their IP addresses. The IP addresses can still be seen by hovering over the host to see the popup tooltip window. If false, the search window will not show the nicks of the clients that come up in a search, but show their ip address. This is useful to detect spam results.

Search.SpamFilterThreshold

• Default: 20%
• Percentage of hits with spam characteristics needed to trigger a file to be seen as suspicious.

Search.SwitchToTransfers

• Default: 1 (True)
• Once a file has been selected to download, Shareaza automatically switches to the Transfers/Downloads Window, where the file can now be seen.

Toolbars

Toolbars.ShowMonitor

• Default: 1 (True)
• Shows/hides the little bandwidth monitor in the title bar.

Toolbars.ShowRemote

• Default: 1 (True)
• Enables/disables Shareazas Remote Control tool bar.

Uploads

These options configure the way Shareaza makes uploads and handles file transfer requests from remote hosts.

Uploads.AllowBackwards Default: 1 (True) If true, this option allows Shareaza to send data in reverse order and upload to sources who want to receive data in reverse order.

Uploads.AutoClear Default: 0 (False) If false, Shareaza keeps a list of completed upload events (to a certain number).

Uploads.ClampdownFactor Default: 20% The percentage of total upload limit reserved for each upload slot (calculated from average or maximim, depending on the setting).

Uploads.ClampdownFloor Default: 8 Kb/s Defines the amount of speed a slot must sustain before another slot is open. So if you have it set to 8kb/s (1KB/s) which means that if someone is downloading from you at LOWER than 1KB/s or 8kb/s then another slot will open and Shareaza will keep doing it until you have all your slots open.

Uploads.ClearDelay Default: 30 s Defines the amount of time Shareaza will wait before clearing a completed or inactive upload from the window if the "AutoClear" option is checked in the context menu of the Uploads window of the Transfers tab. This option in no way affects the upload transfer.

Uploads.DynamicPreviews Default: 1 (True)

Uploads.FreeBandwidthFactor Default: 15% Percentage of Bandwidth that has to be available before a new upload slot is opened. Related to Uploads.FreeBandwidthValue. Shareaza will use the condition which becomes true first.

Uploads.FreeBandwidthValue Default: 20 Kb/s Absolute value of Bandwidth that has to be available before a new upload slot is opened. Related to Uploads.FreeBandwidthFactor. Shareaza will use the condition which becomes true first.

Uploads.PreviewQuality Default: 40% Defines the quality of preview images served to remote hosts who request a preview thumbnail for an image or video file. Lower numbers will yeild smaller file sizes and faster transfers, but less detailed images.

Uploads.PreviewTransfers Default: 3 Defines the maximum number of transfers allocated for preview images served to remote hosts who request a preview thumbnail for an image or video file. Raising this number will allow more users to download preview thumbnails at once, but will increase the potential bandwidth usage as a result. The same setting is used to limit Library browsing at the same time.

Uploads.QueuePollMax Default: 120 s Defines the maximum amount of time Shareaza will wait before dropping a queued remote host if it has not sent another file transfer request while waiting in a queue line. Setting this to larger values may keep queue positions open longer than necessary in most cases. Setting it to smaller values may not give hosts enough time to resend file transfer requests and may unnecessarily drop hosts from the queue line.

Uploads.QueuePollMin Default: 45 s Defines the minimum amount of time remote hosts must wait before sending a queued file transfer request without being dropped from the queue line. This value gets smaller and smaller as the remote host moves to the front of the queue, governed by the local host. Setting this to smaller values will allow remote hosts to query for their queue positions more often, but use more bandwidth. Setting it to larger values will force remote hosts to wait longer before querying for queue positions or they will be dropped from the queue. This value may not exceed Uploads.QueuePollMax.

Uploads.RewardQueuePercentage Default: 10%

Uploads.RotateChunkLimit Default: 1024 KB This setting will ensure that a user you are uploading to finishes a chunk before you stop uploading to rotate to the next user. This allows the other user to verify that chunk and, in turn, share the chunk through partial file sharing. Changing this setting is not recommended.
