Ever since I've gotten a seedbox I've been falling into some bad habits myself that I wouldn't do otherwise partly because of limited HD space and truthfully partly because I can afford to.
Here's the thing i don't get, what is the point of peoples obsession with fast downloads ?Quote:

People bang on about community, but with the escalation in the use of big boys pipes & seedboxes, it seems more about getting the biggest ratio buffer & feck everyone else .
Luckily, i'm happy with Piratebay speeds, i've got other things to do whilst waiting for some obscure film or show . It's not the be-all or end-all .
Still, it would be nice to know why most people have this need for speed .
cry me a river
What you say is mostly true Spillage:yup: but I 'm still glad that I don't have to download some of the larger stuff like games or HD at those speeds.

But I agree with Spillage, I think it's more about acquiring a huge buffer/ratio, rather than getting everything faster, as I doubt most people using seedboxes actually use half the files they download.

Your statement is correct in regard to some trackers. I indeed experienced that on some trackers people are babbling/talking/bragging all the time about how many TB's they already uploaded. That's indeed not sharing to be helpfull for the community but just an ego-trip. But nonetheless the members of these trackers do benefit from those speeds.Quote:

But there are community-trackers where speed or uploaded amount isn't the highest goal and the sharing and friendly spirit is truly amazing.
I guess you just haven't been a member at such a tracker.
because trackers are there to download files... the faster they get download, the better.Quote:

If i want community I would go in facebook or myspace or any other forum (like this one) :)
and yes I find very very very amusing reading ppl bragging about "community" when talking about FSC or its or similar trackers... I suppose that when you can't have speed and content you brag about "community" :D
(but hey: why are FSC uploaders putting still a lot of efforts in getting files on the site shortly after pre??? shouldn't they upload those files the day after the pre and spam on the forums in the meanwhile?)
That's only your viewpoint because 1337 trackers often neglect the main advantage of bittorrent: Lots of peers uploading to 1 person = big speeds.Quote:
