Send a message via ICQ to HackinCowboy
The more you upload, the higher your participation level.
The more you download, the lower your participation level.

If you and someone else are trying to download the same file, the user w/ the higher participation level will get priority.

Here is the glossary definition from KaZaa.

Higher level = less wait time.
Supreme being used to be earned, now kazaalite is out, everyone is supreme. I just set mine at 666 and leave it

HackinCowboy's link has your answer. The way it rates the participation level
(MB up)/(MB down) * 100
you loss much more participation points the higher your rating for the same download.
