The thing is, with most file-sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, Shareaza, Kazaa, etc, when you download a file, it's stored in a temp folder that is also shareable, so even before you finished your file, you are already sharing the bits and bytes that you've already downloading.
Therefore, you are automatically sharing the file.
One way around this, possibly, is to go into preferences and uncheck the temp folder from being shared. Also, you can uncheck the Incoming folder as well, which is the folder the completed file is moved to.
