How can you stop someone who will not share from uplouding from you?

If you are sure that they won't share (an it's not just that they are too busy serving up files already), just delete their upload in the Monitor Window.
Actually, busy hosts show up as unavailable, so it's very hard (and not worth the hassle IMHO) to accurately tell if someone is indeed a leech.

Better get used to it. My ISP (Cox) is now blocking Gnutella sharing. I have many cool files shared but whenever anyone tries to U/L from me, I see connection error. I can D/L just fine. I bet many more ISPs will do same. This will soon mean the end of Gnutella unless the protocol is updated to combat this ASAP. Well it was nice while it lasted. Anyone know of a reliable file sharing method that give 100% anonymity?
There's no 100% anonymity for the masses yet. The EFF is promoting TOR as a start. http://tor.eff.org/
Good point about upload blocking, though. Lots of users think they're sharing, but don't realize that they may be filtered on uploads and are inadvertently leeching.
Change ISP's, or talk to them about how to get a port that allows filesharing. Worked for me. Does COX allow filesharing (unfiltered bandwidth) on for its higher-priced connections?

They look to be allowing filesharing, so you may want to check that they are indeed filtering gnutella traffic.
