Yes but a lot of users dont. If its done by default then there would be a lot more shared instead of disapearing into black holes. Also if there is a file x that is 700 mb and user A has 300 Mb and user B 100 Mb, user B should be able to download off user A for the range 100-300 Mb. Also I think for...
