Then I hope you can do the needed resoning to get the differences.
Unfortunately you still got it wrong in the end: it's not up us to tell the other is wrong, but that the other see it differently.
I'm not a math genius, but I perfectly got your point of view by your words. However I have and mantain mine as it suits my network concept better.

90k every hour = 9MB every 100 hours.
Exactly the same bandwidth.
It's therefore an anti-boost, a balancer.
That's, of course, assuming you use VQB's full chunk transfer, which clips upload to the file's size if SF push was used, so that even if the downloader continues to another file, the downloader won't get more than the small file's size for which the boost was earned.
You eluded the question: does pushing a small file at to 18000x with respect to a verylow priority file breaks some rule?
BTW, with SUQWT I save the unused part of the waiting queue a client asking for a small file. So he will wait less next time.

If you're downloading said file, that would definately be an issue to accomplish.
You're getting quite inconclusive... is there such a rule or not?

My rule is slightly more relaxed than that, simply requiring that you keep the same spirit of equal sharing.
However, the above rule is the very reason I've originally installed eDonkey2000 0.58 on my computer, and I won't stand by as you throw the network down the drain by ignoring it.
Your rule is your indeed. The default official just makes you share the files you are downloading. However it does not enforce the way you have to uplaod them. It's a simple mechanism to enforce no complete file sharer to upload something. And what is this issue with eDonkey?

Is this a either/or game? I do not have to provide anything to prove you're wrong. You too could not make me wrong. Your argumentations seen from my point of view are totally a bunch of bullshit. Sorry. We are just seeing things from two different points of view.
You seem to be quite a extremist of some type: "me or nothing".
Well, I may consider Kry's approach hence on.

Yes, the only thing PS has that is dangerous is the credit shaping capacity.
I'm thinking about a solution for that. Though I will keep the PS of partial somehow, as they are very very precious in some circumstances. I'm evaluating the limits of this occasions. However legal clients with full PS feature all have a zz ratio. So at least those users chosing to use such a powerful feature also chose to have their download limited, which does not happens with other mods.
However, doing credit shaping with Powershare is quite "dangerous" as it is not really "targeted" as may be a friend slot or some other illegal automatism.
Whatever SF claims, PS does not make any discrimination, so you may upload to a client that already has a 1:100 ratio with respect to you. And that's not a good way to credit shape, I think.
If you really want to credit shape the bset way is uploading only the file you are downloading, but if you do not want, just put the other files in very low priority, put the partial to credit shape to release, activate a strong CS and voilà. That's working 10x better than PS. And that's "legal". Just figure.
/edit: some rephrasing...
