Are you a leecher?

[lazybuttz]

its because some people seed high amounts that others cant seed. I always try to seed 100 %, but sometimes i cannot, thats what freeleech is for xD

[golmal]

i have not good upload speed so i can seed max100%,this more than enough for me

[sn1de]

110%. Would seed longer but like to let others with lower ratios build their ratio's up.

[NorBis]

I seed to 105% usually

[tenis69]

I have not good upload speed but during 20 days or more i upload 24 hours day.

[downnheavy]

heh try to seed 100% in f#n with 2.5 m conection :cry:
lucky they have the freeleech system (36 hours seeding min)
i try to keep all the uploads active all the time not erasing them, at least its something.

[Vieri3]

Ratio 1 or more == not leecher
upload the same amount you downloaded == not leecher
account with buffer == not leecher

there is no 150% rule, the main idea of file sharing is to upload what you downloaded back, not to upload crazy amount of it. buffer is good thing to download big files, and not risk in banning, making you enough time to seed back what you got.

[popcop23]

150-200% most of the time...

[GuitarLegend]

80-150%...depends

[colyu]

200-300% most of the time
500%+ on torrents that i've uploaded

[puurlucky]

80-150 %

[vvt1982]

80-150% usually
sometimes much more

[kondrae]

i try to get 1:1 per torrent unless im trying to improve my ration, in that case i go for 300%. its kind hard to seed back over 100% when your upload is 1/7 of your dl. dam ips

[Emma1979]

i like to get my account to a power user status and then maintain it as that. i usually seed 150-250% of what i dl. I archive some in case seeder are requested.

I dont really agree with people that seed to a ridiculously high ratio cos the rest find it hard to seed back before the torrent dies, i like to let other users seed and help them get to a decent user rank instead of struggling on user. Torrent communities are about sharing

[Qlix]

I seed for weeks/months.

[messi30]

Sometimes +500%
Sometimes 30 - 50 %

[kaitracid]

usually I seed %100-150

[Apophis]

I'm a good seeder with 500+%!:coffee:

[GoldStoNe]

Woh! How can people seed up to 500% if there are no leechers. Torrent sites need leechers too.

[yayyyyyy]

seed till I delete the files (never lol... i'd rather buy another drive and expand the raid array :P )

[EnerGizer]

I'm not leecher , I mean I can't even get 30% uploaded of what I've downloaded with my poor connection "256 kbit" , but I seed 24/7

[Prio]

Always 500+ %. =)

[Cute Jessica]

i Seed 80-150% :D

[TidusBlade]

Depends...
If it's from a public tracker, usually just to about 0.8 - 1.2 unless it's really good or I love it, like a Linux distro :P
On private trackers, it differs. Usually just before I think Im overseeding.

[bindipprsRkunz]

i dunno. i just got a seedbox last month and I did 1,500% on one 600mb torrent, which is insane. i try and do at least 150 but sometimes i'll just trash them if i'm running out of slots

what is this trader/NoN TrAdEr bollocks? am I missing something?

[matrix000]

i have slow upload speed i seed for 2 months :D

[Blackbeard]

i can only seed on 110 to 120 on most torrents till they are removed. =/

[Ri0T]

Usually I manage to seed up to 140%-150%, more of the are plenty of leechers.

[forever]

I usually seed up to 300-400%, sometimes more, rarely less. It's my way to show respect to the uploader and the community.

[Swift]

i leech as much as my HDD lets me

[B4ss]

usually 120%

[Bips]

Really depends, I just keep most of my torrents in my client all the time.
Atleast 100%

[fractal]

hm, according to my current µTorrent stats my ratio is 6.532. (1351 GB up, 207 GB down)

so no ... i suppose that's not a leecher... :innocent:

i just leave stuff going, and I download stuff from Usenet too, so torrents aren't my only source.

[Al3xInn0]

1:1 Ratio :D

[EyezSS]

I usually seed to 200-300% hence avoid overseeding. But on sites where ratio doesn't matter, i usually keep torrents alive as long as my harddisk allows me to do so lol.

[Actatoi]

Yepp.

[Manaldski]

ratio 3.2:)

[YourMaster]

110- 150% :yup:

[t0mmy]

500% of downloads should be classified as over seeding, most trackers dislike it :P and not to mention the other users :D

[sanjana]

I do leeching around 20%-30% I do a lot of seeding it is just because I need to build buffer and I always love seeding...

Though my connection for uploading is crap around 56KBps...DOwnload has 2Mbps... that way I seed longer than I download....

[WardenRo]

My PC is on 24/7 and so is uTorrent, so I just leave everything seed until there's just too many torrents open (I do a monthly cleanup of torrents). I usually get to a ratio of 3 to 5 / torrent (I managed to go up to 66 on a porn movie :blink:).

[glock31ca]

For me it varies. I try to hit 150% if at all possible but I've had some under 100% and others over 300%. If a file has lots of seeders, I'll turn off seeding in order to let uTorrent concentrate my seeding on others where there are few seeders. My bandwidth for uploading gets shared of course, so I'd rather concentrate it on files where there are few seeders rather than ones with 50 or more.

[lolapa]

i try as good as i can, my internet sucks atm

[YoYoY]

I consider myself one big leecher. I usually seed for a long time but still I leech even more than you could ever imagine.

[anon]

For the record, this was bumped by a spambot, not YoYoY. As for the thread question... nah.

[bumrocks]

For the record, this was bumped by a spambot...

Had never heard of such a thing...How could such a thing be done without making a post?

On topic...between 200% and 400% normally...Depends, since I usually let shit seed for long periods of time and not so much till it reaches a percentage, for the most part...Oldest seeding torrent atm, is a year old. But I was seeding it before then as I had reformatted and re-seeded it. Ratio on that particular torrent 2.838.

Overdue for a format...been procrastinating.

[anon]

They did make a post (and several others on varied threads), the classic "bla bla bla (spam link here) trololol (spam link here)".

Knowing that after he got wiped from the forum it'd look like YoYoY and me had the great idea of bumping a 2008 thread, I made that comment :P

[Night0wl]

Weird. My answer is still the same. I was gonna to change my vote to all of the above before searching for my post.


I need a wtf option as well. It depends what/where and how.

Whoever created this poll must only go for the newest files or is on public trackers.

I chose 150%-200% but that's an average. Some I hardly seed at all and others I seed to 1000% or more. Especially if the uploader has low ratio, I will hit n' run a torrent ASAP, that is if the site allows it off course, because the uploader will appriciate that way more than me staying on seeding.

[IdolEyes787]

I used to seed stuff on trackers but then I came to the realization that everyone else is totally in it for themselves and most anyone I had delusions of amicability with stopped even pretending to being nice to me the second they realized I couldn't "do " anything for them .
Lacking the power to will them dead I now only seed on sites with no pretensions of l33tness like Demonoid . This simple yet effective principle also allows the other people better opportunity to talk badly about me behind my back so bonus.
So the answer to the question is a deep and profound bitterness that is only slightly alleviated but loose drink and hard women.

[mjmacky]

1. Leech
2. Seed
3. Watch while seeding
4. Would you watch it again? No, go to 5. Yes, go to 6.
5. Stop seeding, remove file & torrent
6. Continue seeding, until you decide you won't actually watch it again, then go to 5.

Basically, the tracker has little to no impact on my decision to seed. It typically takes me days (sometimes weeks) to get around to watching something anyway, so I don't have to even think about HnR rules. Then again, these may just be habits of a primarily usenet user.

[megabyteme]

realized I couldn't "do " anything for them .

Loser. :snooty:

Life is hard but that's why they invented ice cream.

[CleverMan]

i seed for months, years, ages...

[theman5]

I aim for a ratio of at least 1, but unless it's one of my uploads, I rarely hit it.
I do seed for a couple weeks on average though.

[mitraark]

Iseed1000RAtioz ....

Someone else has a hard time because you need that extra TB on your Upload stats.

I seed torrents from well seeded trackers for as much as required 48 Hours / 1:1 maybe 1:1/5 ratio ... for Desi trackers ( BWT DT BanglaTorrents) which has really poor seeders , i have some 2 years old torrents still seeding .. Ratio > 50 .

[Frankthetank1]

500+ lies...

[anon]

500+ lies...



Maybe things were different back in 2005, but nowadays with fast connections and seedboxes, 500% is hardly unrealistic. Even if you have a crappy line, it's manageable over time if there are people leeching that stuff - I have some public torrents (moderate to large files) in my client with ratios on the 30s and beyond.

[Frankthetank1]

true but i dont see 362 people doing it.

[anon]

There's more than three people using torrents, I think :unsure:

[ddy]

I usually seed as long as i can,that's the sharing spirit. :D

[lukarav]

I have 20/20, and i just load torrent to utorrent and leave it running. When i want to watch it, all of them all over 150% or more seeded back.

[sunsak]

I seed as much as possible(my pc is never off)

[Funkin']

I hit 'n' run as much as possible(seeding's for chumps)

[anon]

I hit 'n' run as much as possible(seeding's for chumps)

You're getting your shit from chumps, then. :unsure:

Which on the other side, by definition, probably makes sense somewhat.

[ShadowHunter]

Its not easy for me with a home conection to seed more then 100%

[IdolEyes787]

I don't believe anyone asked you to.:unsure:

Anyway if the state of bt is now such that you need a seedbox to download files frankly I'd rather give my money to hookers.

[mjmacky]

frankly I'd rather give my money to hookers.

frankly, this is a conversation you should have with Oleg

[anigav]

I am a leecher... but most of the time people leech from me more than what I leeched :cry:

Who is Oleg? How to find?

Oh great thanks... is he a leecher or seeder ?

[Shahrukh]

200-300%

[mjmacky]

200-300%

This would actually be an appropriate answer to question:
