i came across an article about 'how to avoid
uploading' but cant get a grasp on what its about.
can anyone explain?
can a p2p software actually upload your files onto the web
without you knowing it?
It depends on which P2P technology you're referring to. If
you're talking about BitTorrent, you actually have to upload what
you've downloaded (in P2P, if no one's uploading, there's no way
you can download).
