The best thing good users can do is remain on the client for the long term, ensuring traders remain a small minority. The next best thing they can do is PM traders regularly with requests to share. Make their sessions a pain in the butt due to the private chat alert going off routinely. 'Hey trader, please open up to non-buddies temporarily, even at a crippled speed. I'd like two items from you. You know Soulseek is a sharing platform, right?' Some may realise the ridiculousness of their position and co-operate.
Don't stoop to their level by blacklisting, either. They will take that as endorsement of their behaviour. (Set 20kb/s down if it makes you feel better.)
Will try it, thanks. Seems more civilized.
Thanks for the tip. That seems like a better punishment.
