your a little wrong on the 99% lots of idiots in Aust have Bigpond as their ISP (because they are a monopoly on some places where you can actually get ADSL) there also a massive rip off but they charge you for uploads probably quarter of the idiots in Aust have them as a ISP
How long I seed depends on the tracker. Some have slot restrictions and if I meet them, my uTorrent stops at a ratio of 1.25 or 96 hours. On other trackers I may just seed for a few weeks until my client reaches its maximum of a 4.0 ratio and stops seeding.
But to answer your other question: until 2006 there existed no broadband flatrates in Austria. Can you say 15GB traffic a month? In any case, this makes sharing virtually impossible. I'm sure that there are other countries or regions with such limitations.
So this may be one of many explanations why people don't keep seeding, especially older torrents. I have to say that downloading at a tenth speed of what I'm used to can be tiresome but in the end I get what I want in most cases. I don't get your point because it's never been this way on any tracker I've been active on - maybe we're on complete different ones then ;)
And there you have it. All I download now are full DVDRs, I can't leave those rar's laying around forever. 4.5gb in rars, you extract it, another 4.5gb... I only have a 160gb HDD....Quote:
