Participation

[Guy Guest]

Ok, I want to share stuff and earn participation points honestly. I have fast internet and my computer is pretty good, but I never get too many uploads. Like only one or two a day even none. Can someone give me tips on sharing stuff. Appreciate it.

Share porn! No, really you don't have to share porn. Although, it is really popular. You're just going to have to find files that people want, i.e. recent movies, popular TV shows, porn. If you have a fast connection, I would limit my simultaneous uploads to about 5-10. Just so other broadband users can make the most of your upload bandwidth. And upping you participation level is faster when you're not downloading. I always upload until my p-level goes to 1000, then I find something I want to download, and I just keep repeating that process.

El Jefe is right, sex sells. But my own take on the subject is that the participation level isn't something to be too concerned about, as long as you have a fast connection and the luxury of 24/7...even at a PL hovering somewhere around 0-10 you can download about 1Gb daily and that's plenty by anyone's standards...If you are using 56K modem just fall back to the old fail-safe of patience, patience...kazaalite ensures the continuation of the file and it might take you a month or more to get the movie, but that's just the price of the cheap and slow...If you want to spend the bucks for the faster connections you have to weigh it against its value...for example I could get a LAN connection for around $500 or $600 US per month but at that rate I could buy as many DVDs as I could download for the basic cable rate of $50 per month...but I see that you have already decided to do that...otherwise it's up to the gods of kazaa circumstance if someone likes the stuff you have enough to download it.

Plus -- Once you build those participation points up they get spent at a much faster rate than you earned them...
