Yep, but on the other hand it (can) make sense at least for a "home network". Only one pc downloads the updates and distribute them in the "home network" _but of course not_ to the internet.
Anyway, in my case the thing is my laptop does only take update from the company network and her's seems to be evaluated to share them over the internet (similar things happend long time ago when skype used clients to manage a p2p)
(sorry for my hard to understand English  )

didn't cause any problems for me performance wise, but I had a few months of crazy upload stats on my router when that setting accidentally was enabled on one of my systems.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I just made an appointment to meet a jeweller tomorrow, to discuss repairs to Herself's engagement ring.
And I signed off by saying "I'll see you then, and bring my own mask and gloves!"
Six months ago, I'd have been met by the police, not the jeweller - but today, I get an expression of relief and a LOL ...

Talking about rings, I heard a story about the song "Ring of fire", I checked Wikipedia and surely it says:
Quote: In 2004, Merle Kilgore, who shared writing credit for the song with June Carter, proposed licensing the song for a hemorrhoid cream commercial. When performing the song live, Kilgore would often "mock dedicate" the song to the "makers of Preparation H".[9] However, June's heirs were not of a like mind, and they refused to allow the song to be licensed for the ad.

I made a similar observation a while back to a bank teller...it was met by what I can only describe as a nervous laugh.

OK, riddle me this. I needed to make a PDF with C# code for someone too cheap to pay for Aspose, iTextSharp or other commercial library that would do the job. There seem to be two projects on CodeProject that make rather simple PDFs without a ($600 to start) commercial library. A fair amount of searching led me to the PDFJet library, much of which can be used used for free under a 2 clause BSD license. It's easy to build and I made a pretty complicated PDF Fax Cover Sheet I needed using only C#. I was thrilled so I posted about it with a link to the Open Source library. I bet it could even be compiled to .Net Core though I didn't try.
Anyway, in almost any post in any forum, including CodeProject, the first answer to how to make a PDF with C# is to use the expensive iTextSharp. I wrote about what I had found on the question at https://www.codeproject.com/Answers/5275236/Create-PDF-File-In-Csharp-3-5 which asked "How can i create a pdf file using c# with table format ?"... Which it answers. So why did I get an email saying "Your answer 'Create PDF File In C# 3.5' has been reported by Nelek and has been closed, with the reason being given as Content has been posted that is spam."? It's free for one thing while none of the other libraries are. It's a valuable, uncommon resource to me as a C# developer and might be to others. I have nothing to do with the Open Source project.
One thing I noticed when researching the project. Over and over I found posts on SO with resources ... and the post was marked as closed for being inappropriate for some reason. What is with it about the content police?

Probably, it was that you were responding to a very old question (2012!) and an older article with links; you aren't a "regular contributor" (your rep graph has been pretty flat for years); two almost identical messages very close together. Oh, and it's another PDF converter - we get a lot of "converter spam":
Quote: Old member pushing a pdf library to a question of 2012 and to an article of 2004. It is supposed to be for free but 2 messages so different with almost the same text within only a couple of minutes?
Either he has changed to the dark side or his account got hijacked, but it is on purpose.
I have to admit, it looks suspicious and I'd probably have reported you and rejected them myself.
It may be that you are genuine - but if what you post looks like pink meat, and smells like pink meat, we;re probably gonna treat it like pink meat!

I've asked for the spammer kicks to be reversed, by the way.

T'anks. There is almost nothing out there about making PDFs without expensive libraries. I was thrilled to find it.

I used it once before and it was free, as I recall. No?

I wonder what I used then. I could have sworn it was itextsharp and all I had to do was download it.
Maybe not then. Can't remember.

PDF Sharp has worked well for me in the past when i needed to create downloadable versions of html reports.

You got caught with both messages in the spam filter. You were using the same pattern that many spammers do and it would be not the first time that someone starts a blog or does something and start pushing "his better solution" all over the place in old questions and articles.
I can only say "sorry".

Is a grave robber a pickpocket that attends funerals?

Of corpse! It's related to intern-al affairs (not intended as a form of necrophilia in this context) but there may be grave consequences if this deed is undertaken and one is caught.
