    Now why would you want to go and do a thing like that. Share a little. If you really want to stop users from downloading, or limit the amount someone downloads, including bandwidth consumption; then you can go to your kazaa options menu --> traffic and either disable sharing altogether or limit the amount of uploads you wish to allow.

    its got nothing to do with uploads! i always upload and am a big request ripper but i cant go into that here. my problem is that last month we went over the cap by 8 gigs and cant risk being charged, the upload cap was only about 10 gigs or something so i dont mind that. i just need to impose some sustainable devolpment

    if you block the kazaa ports, you can't use kazaa at all.

    If you want sustainable downloads, try grabbing Netlimiter, and limiting kazaa to a realisticly low download rate (like 10kb/sec).

    Alternatively, just let em know that if they break the cap and get charged, they pay for it. (I assume you're paying for BB).
