NSTasHub and 0 slots

Saw this in dc chat the other day.
While on the face of it, it seems unfair to not share anything, I think can sympathise with the people doing this.
There is a large number of dc clients, let's face it, who share... shit. Even with the minimum limit now enforced, you do a search for anything new and it's the same old story, only the power users have it (Anach, Kahuna, Styrix, Shaggy, etc) and getting anyone else's list gives you several Gb of apps, mp3s and other boring crap.
My current session of dc is something like 300Mb down, 4000Mb up simply becase there's not much worth getting, but I seem to be getting hammered by leechers regardless.
Personally, I run 1 slot free so that I can reserve slots for the people who are actually worth giving stuff to, because I know that they are nice guys and also have me in the favourite list, or else will open slot for me no problems in return.
Just my opinion on the matter...
