Usually i dont, But the speed you get of public is so poor that i usually have like 2 or 3 in ratio before i get the entire thing done..

So even though i close it when its done i have already seeded more than my part.

I always leave it seeding for couple of days.

Most of the files that I'm not able to get on private trackers have low numbers of seeds, so I leave it seeding to help users that are still downloading files.

By the time I've finished downloading off public trackers I've uploaded enough to be able to delete the torrent as soon as it's finished without feeling too guilty. But I don't use them unless I have to

I always try to seed back to 1:1 at least, but there are exceptions. But then again there are also exceptions where I seed to 20:1 if I have bandwidth available.

I do set preference to the Private sites though and will rather pause or throttle a public torrent, so I can seed private ones.

I don't like freeloaders, so I try to not be one myself.

I feel the same way. I seed what I download, even if it's a public tracker. The thing is, I don't seed as much as I do on private trackers.:yup:

I used too but since my upload speed is limited, I disconnect to allow my torrents from private trackers to seed.

I never really use public trackers anymore. I seed to a 1:1 ratio when I do use them though.

yes, when I'm forced to use a public tracker for something I can't find elsewhere, I always keep it seeding for a day or two.

Bad Seed
01-13-2008, 10:55 PM
I like to share so I always seed. On public trackers usually I stop the torrents at 1,50; if there are only few seeders then I seed until 2,00 or more.

well,just not to play mr. nice guy
in the past ,i used not to seed 1:1 but now i just downloaded 2 movies from pirate bay and i seeded them 2 :1
i hope i keep it this way :)

Billy.Bundles

1000possibleclaws
01-14-2008, 04:45 AM
naw, I stopped seeding back at demonoid about a month before it closed down, since im from canada where my proxy blocked dl/upls, and I just started to hate that site anyways. and I never seed over the pirate bay back when I used it... Usually just downloading the file seeded up to over 1, but if not, then I always stopped the torrent whenever I next checked on my torrents, because I don't really like public trackers

however I'm stuck with fucking 12kb/s upload until I (hopefully) move into residence that has high speed internet, so that's even more why I don't care to seed back when its not 1:1 by the time i finish

escuoop
01-14-2008, 05:08 AM
yes

I close it when the ratio is 1 or above

shygrrrl
01-14-2008, 06:25 AM
Public trackers kind of suck, but I'm not above downloading the occasional crap from them when I don't feel like taking the ratio hit. :P

And yes, I seed.

sugam
01-14-2008, 08:27 AM
I am always trying to seed till reaching 1,0 ratio on a single torrent.

Definite
01-14-2008, 08:29 AM
I seed over 1.0 on public trackers to help out others.

Bucktoof
01-14-2008, 09:14 AM
Don't do public trackers anymore, but when I did, I would work to 1.0 then I felt I was free to cancel the torrent anytime

gan970
01-14-2008, 09:45 AM
I seed when I see that there are not enough seeders...

I do seed for sometime, but I give preference to the leeches from private trackers.

I try to seed 1 to 1 at least. Especially, if it doesn't have alot of seeds.

fisherman
01-14-2008, 03:13 PM
If I have to grab something from a public tracker yes I'll seed back at least 1:1 or more as I have a fairly big bandwidth allowance with my isp.... But I always make sure I have PeerGuardian running :) It would be a sin not too :)

I don't download form public trackers... But I do seed on them to make releases every now and then.

01-14-2008, 03:59 PM
I only use public sites when completely necessary, I try to stay away from them as much as I can.

But when I do, I try to seed at least to 1:1 (which is almost in every case possible, since down speed is very low, by the time I finish the download it has seeded more than 1:1 - same scenario as many of you).

klink05

i seed to 2.0 or higher. since there's barely any decent seeds on a public tracker, it usually gets to 3.0 before i even notice.

GhostRetired19
01-14-2008, 07:19 PM
I always leave it seeding for 2 days

buggyfresh
01-14-2008, 07:55 PM
I think having a 1:1 ratio matters no matter if there's a penalty or not...after demonoid closed down i had nowhere else to go..f ppl were selfish enough to not seed then how would anybody get anything?? true now that I've gotten access to some private trackers I'll hardly go to torrentz, mininova, and piratebay, but if I did (e.g. to get some Mega gigapack like Chronological X-Men that would kill my private tracker ratio) I would still seed back - it's the right thing to do imo.

01-14-2008, 08:04 PM
i seed, i limit upload to 20 KB/s tho, enough to seed to 1:1
I still like public trackers, private 0day trackers only upload mainstream stuff (boring).

it's exactly what happens to me. i think i seed a bigger % at public ones than at private's. :wacko:
