I'm thinking now they're probably scared of the risks. But yes,
the ones who are stupid about it, like ignoring me because a
first connection attempt timed out, definitely.

To you, too.

I'm noticing that about 30% (maybe more) of the people connecting
to me are traders. I'll browse them and see they have a copy of
a file I'm trying to get, but they're not sharing it. If you
click it from their browse results, it turns red on-screen. They
don't show up in the search results, and unless you want to
haggle (which I don't), they're not ever going to let you get
anything from them.

I'm not sure if this is a self-protection attempt or what. I
can't do the same (I have the crippled WinMX from WinMX4U or
whatever the link was), so this must be a Moni feature, although
even people on OpenNap using Lopster seem to be able to do it,
too. It's not something I'd want to do. I check my queue
manually to make informed judgments about who's a legitimate
sharer and who's not.
