As per the subject line, just wanted to say thanks to Nir for introducing the auto-message on empty shares.

Since I installed the news version yesterday (I'm a little late to the party), I've already received about half a dozen messages from people saying "I'm sorry, I'll get this sorted out" and the sorts of. I think it's a brilliant idea to add it, and a great way to enhance the amount of shares within the network, while at the same time avoiding unnecessary and rude conversations/bans, that we all know were like a plague.

It looks like most of the people are reacting to the message, so once again - well done, Nir. Thanks a lot for that :)

Thanks dynamitri! I had an interesting experience myself testing the empty share warning feature. The first thing that surprised me was that my client was sending the empty share warning message to very few of the people who were downloading from me, meaning there weren't that many people downloading from me who weren't sharing themselves. And in the few cases that it did, two times out of three they had cancelled their download almost immediately. I'm very happy the feature is working well so far.

Thanks, Nir
