Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
After reading various threads about how much people seed or don't seed I though it could be fun to know if people Hit n' Run or if they stay to seed when they grab something from a public tracker.
So what do you do outside the private trackers, and why? And when you're at it what would you download from the public trackers, if anything?

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i never use Public sites..

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Used public in the very beginning but not anymore. So. . . I guess I 2 can't answer this question
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
I used public trackers a lot in the past
The speed were so bad that by the time I finished download I had already uploaded 1:1

The upload speed is usually maxed out and the download speed is about 5kB/s if its even downloading at all. :pinch:

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
I sometimes use public torrent sites, i try to upload about 1:1 always i use it.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Well I think that it matters in some way, because if no one seeds on the public trackers the torrents will die very quick! Personally I download many linux distros, and stay to seed thinking if everybody hit and runs nobody else is going to get it at a decent speed or even get it at all.

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Sometimes I use public trackers on very rare files now that Demonoid is down. I seed for the courtesy of the other people who are leeching the same file as me. As I know it's rare to find.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
^ what he said. Anything thats rare, i will grab off publics, and just seed since it usually only has 1 seeder or something. tho i usually hit 1:1 (that is i have uploaded total torrent size) before the torrent finishes
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i don't use public tracker, but if i did i would seed back 1:1.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
depend on which public site, but mostly I hit & run on public tracker
download some anime & tv shows that you can't find on scene release
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
in public trackers my up>dl usually
so it's easy to get 1:1 on files :)
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i'm not using them anymore, no need to
but i remember seeding back to 100% because of the poor d/l speed
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
yes.. actually yes.. when i was on my first tracker... but i done that because nobody teach me with bittorent.. how to use,, whats the rules... and from there i improve my english too
but now.. NO HITS&RUN... NEVER
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
I'll admit it and say I used to hit & run back when I was a noob. Now I am a little bit more knowledgeable and use all private sites.
Reason for the hit & run was because the longer you stay on a public site the better the chance of getting an infringement letter sent.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
No i dont hit and run that's not file shareing now is it ? reguardless of whatever site you use if you wanted to download something and everyone hit and run all over public places there would be nothing to download i download share remove and let the next person do what i did
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
back when i used Torrentspy I used to hit and run without knowing it, cause I didn't know what a ratio was lol. :P
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Same here... When i used Bittorrent for the first time I always hit and run in public trackers, I do not know about ratio that time.... But now i do not use public tracker anymore and i always seed 1.1 or 36 hours in all my trackers......:)
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Never. generally I'll try and seed as long as is bloody freaking possible just because I want to make sure people get what they want at a decent rate. I figure someone has to be noble and benevolent otherwise everyone would just be shafted.

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
don't trust them either so I don't hit, I just run
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i guess, those who tasted private trackers, will not go back the public ones.

It happened to me when i used demonoid a lot, by the end of the download, my ratio used to be 1.5+ :lol:
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i once tried a torrent on demonoid, using my crap seedbox
i got a ratio of 200-300 in one or two days.
that file was very popular, i cant remember what it was, but i new i was a bit generous.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
occassionally, but usually the uploads are far greater then downloads like someone stated before
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
ACTUALLY, im quite a private tracker person myself, BUT BEFORE WAFFLES AND WHAT, and after Oink, bt junkie showed me a little light, for albums. You cna DL albums fairly quickly and their decent quality. I was getting 400kbps on most.

There is no 'hit' and 'run' in public trackers IMO. I mean, noone can unless he caps his upload. Whenever i grab something from a public tracker, i get the complete file only when i seed atleast 3 times the download. When i grabbed 'history boys DVDR-Diamond', my upload was around 17 Gb when i just finished grabbing it.
I never cap my upload in any tracker, even public, but i will stop the torrent immediately when d/L is complete in any tracker if there are more seeders than leechers except for those having those strict seeding rules.

Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i never hit and run on tracker be it public or private and we need to seed more demonoid and public becz on private trackers every body seed but on public very less people seed so its more important to seed on public trackers.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
No public, sorry...Gone undercover a long ago...:)
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
ye, it's long time ago that i used public tracker :D
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
only publicish i used was demonoid and yes i not only seeded but uploaded
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
Only when I was a complete noob and on Demonoid rarely where for some reason my ratio was fixed at a constant 1.33
These days, I usually seed to 1.5 - 2 on public and 2 - 3.5 on private
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
some times !
cuz they no ratios :happy:

but you use demonoid (a public tracker) :unsure:
i only snatch windows apps from them, but sometimes hit n run. i seem to be using them more since oink got taken down, as that was my main source for apps :(
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
nope... I maintain a positive ratio on public trackers too. Especially the small torrents. I mean if the torrent is just a couple of MBs big you might as well stick around and seed it.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
i like to share lot in small torrents sites like textbooktorretns
my ration is nearly
Downloaded 2.09 MiB
uploaded 3.87 GiB
Ratio 1,892.61
in public torretn i was lost my hole data CBT
i got one good pack
total size 25.5GB
downloaded 25.5 GB
and uploaded 50.59 GB
the same tracker i tried few others i got VIRUS
my anti virus application simply catch so i stopped
now i am looking for good private tracker for application download :)
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
I try to atleast seed it to a 1:1 ratio, been a really long time since I have used a public tracker though.
-
Re: Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers
With a couple of private trackers, good request sections and on top of that Usenet access, I don't need a public tracker and have in fact not used one for a long time. Back then I had acceptable ratios however as it was the only fair thing to do.
