Thanks guys!
Having a buffer is always great. But DO be careful with having a buffer too big that it would arouse suspicion... I say, keep a good steady 10 or 20 gig buffer is fine, anything more than that is just troublesome.

The latter, more than often.
I keep my buffers somewhat large because come summer I'm moving back to the States and will have a crummy ISP for about six months. Not to say I won't make my best effort to seed back what I download then (how hard is it to simply let your torrents stay alive for a couple weeks, leechers...), but I know it'll be hard to stay above 1.0...
i'm actually with you on having a pretty large buffer on oink. by pretty large i mean about 75gb. and this was primarily from two years on a college dorm room connection, because i knew going home for the summer to crappy cable would destroy anything i'd built up. and it did eat a chunk of it, but my connection off campus now isn't horrible.
it's always useful to check the worst seeded torrents in the top ten [especially when they're huge programs], or if you know there's a big release coming up soon, search for it every few minutes; you're bound to get a bunch of transcoded torrents that everybody will jump on anyway, and it will take the mods a while to actually take them down so you can usually get your money's worth out of it if you're on early. plus, if you stumble on to someone who uploaded the real thing, then you're in really early for what you know will be a massive swarm.
