    Most they would do is lose your invites. I never heard of them banning people cause their invitees are Leechers. They ban for cheaters. I got banned there for once cause I went too much leeching and ratio suffered. They banned me not the person who invited me. But i went ot their IRC and explain the situation and showed them I was still seeding. They gave me a week to get my ratio up, which I did. Pretty good site

    neither, they dont care about the leechers people invite. Theres only 2 ways to affect your account by inviting people:

    1/inviting someone whos been previously banned gets you a warning that if it happens again youll loose all your invites

    2/inviting someone who cheats makes you loose all invites on the first offence

    oink doesn't care if you invite leechers, they're more than welcome. of course, they'll get banned eventually, but nothing will happen to you

    Someone who uses hacked bittorrent clients to fake their ratios on trackers.

    Really?
    Whatever next?
    I'd not heard of torrent ratio cheating before...Logic would suggest it was inevitable though...it's like everything else in the digital world...if there's the slightest reason to hack something (perhaps even just for the challenge), people will do it.

    BTW... what's considered a fair and reasonable ratio on torrent sites? (i.e. what ratio is require in order to NOT be considered a leecher?)

    Here in New Zealand most ADSL accounts have uploading limited to 128 or 256K. So uploading as much as one downloads is rather tricky to accomplish!! I'd be keen to know what is expected of me...

    Cheers,

    Jonathan

    Inspired Mind, the lowest ratio on TL is 0.4, you get warned if you go below that, and the power user ratio is 1.05 IIRC, if that helps to answer your question

    I lost all my invites when some one I invited got banned, don't even know why they got banned.
