I live in Belgium, our ISP's have a monopoly. As a result we are only entitled to a limited amount of bandwidth per month (varying from 10Gig to 65Gig, depends on how much money you want to spend on your connection..).
I aggree with you that sharing is caring and that leechers are pests. However, it is not always as simple as that. I try to share as much as possible, but if I'd keep sharing, I'd hit my bandwidth limit in less than 5 hours (and if you do, they put you on smallband, which is an equivalent of a 56k connection).
