One other reason (as I have been very guilty of setting my uploads low) is because when I had it set so 3 or 4 could upload and I would find that I needed to turn my machine off...to restart of what ever. I would be down to one uploader and every time I would have someone want to start a new upload I would send them a message that I was having to shut my machine down......they would either not read their message or ignore it and each time I would end the upload they would start it again. To the point of ridiculousness! I had to wait for the person that was well into the upload to finish before I would shut it down as I never would shut down (intentionally) on someone that was 1/3 more into an upload. And the whole time I would have to sit here and keep denying these people that would not read the message I sent. Now I have it set to 1 upload at a time...this way I can control it. Otherwise I would allow more. I also have a dial up account which makes a big difference in how fast these uploads (downloads too) go. What really ticks me is when I'm almost done and someone shuts their machine off! I have to keep reminding myself that it could be a power outage, equipment failure or emergency.....I'd hate to think that there are that many just plain rude people out there.

In some cases, I think it's because people are getting more and more concerned about allowing others on their computers for fear of security risks. They think it's OK to "get" but not "give". Others are people that simply > are selfish.
