You've got to be kidding right???
When my upload is too high, I usually get complimented, and you'd be surprised how many IRC folds wrote "WoW gread speeds dude"... etc...



On another note, one reason why people limit upload bandwidth, not to be leecher, but just as an example, my crappy ISP, Optonline, will cap your upload if you do it too much for too long at full throttle. The reason for this I guess, as the reason for any company to hate it, is because upload is what costs them $$$ to provide to the end user.
